PhosFOS Flexible Skin
PHOSFOS (Photonic Skins For Optical Sensing) is a research and technology development project co-funded by the European Commission. Project Description The PHOSFOS project is developing flexible and stretchable foils or skins that integrate optical sensing elements with optical and electrical devices, such as onboard signal processing and wireless communications, as seen in Figure 1. These flexible skins can be wrapped around, embedded in, and anchored to irregularly shaped or moving objects and allow quasi-distributed sensing of mechanical quantities such as deformation, pressure, stress, and strain. This approach offers advantages over conventional sensing systems, such as increased portability and measurement range. The sensing technology is based around sensing elements called Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) that are fabricated in standard single core silica fibers, highly birefringent Microstructured fibers (MSF) and Plastic optical fibers (POF). The silica MSFs are desig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
