Abstract

Strain, deformation and temperature measurements constitute the most interesting parameters to be monitored in smart structures. White-light interferometry offers these performances even for long-term measurements. Based on the Michelson interferometer, fiber optic quasi-distributed strain-sensing techniques are demonstrated in this paper. Related problem about the spatial division limitation of fiber optic sensors is discussed.
