Innovative Fiber Optic Elastometer for Strain Measurement and Structural Monitoring

This paper discusses a novel fiber optic elastometer designed to measure strain in fiber materials, which causes changes in the refractive indices at the core and cladding interface. It highlights the detection of subsequent Brillouin scattering and the modal power distribution (MPD). The system's efficacy is demonstrated in dynamic environments, such as parachute behavior. Additionally, it addresses the integration of lasers and detectors into an all-in-one system, and innovative fiber compositions to enhance elasticity for applications in structural monitoring and pipeline inspections.
