Research abstract
ABSTRACT: We develop an innovative fiber-optic high-temperature sensor that is based on simple OTDR measurements and widely-available telecom lasers. The goal is a compact and low-power sensor system, with a cost point that enables wide-spread adaptation for bleed air sensing in military and commercial aircraft. BENEFIT: The technology developed will have a wide swath of applications in avionic, shipboard and commercial jetliner,"down-hole"oil drilling applications, and leak/fault detection in industrial cooling applications and power plants.
