Research abstract
Multi-axis fiber grating strain sensors have the ability to measure three dimensional strain and may be wavelength division multiplexed. This proposal describes means to multiplex a 6 by 8 array of multi-axis fiber grating strain sensors using a highspeed tunable system that allows measurements of shock and vibration to be made to support health monitoring of missiles. The passive dielectric nature of this system avoids electrical hazards that could cause inadvertant ignition of propellant orexplosives.
