An optical rosette that incorporates fiber Bragg gratings as strain gauges has been designed, fabricated, and tested. We investigated it by measuring the state of a thin plate test structure submitted to an increasing load in four-point bending configuration for various angular orientations. This device also successfully self-temperature-compensated situ uniaxial sensor without any dependence with high accuracy recovery analysis, leading us expect many industrial applications. Printed...
Safety must always prevail in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), as shown at Fukushima-Daiichi. So, innovations are clearly needed to strengthen instrumentations, which went inoperative during this nuclear accident a consequence of power supply losses. Possible improvements concern materials and structures, may be remotely monitored thanks Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS). We detail topics involving OFS helpful for monitoring, nominal conditions well severe accident. They include distributed sensing...

Optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry (OSL-D) used in conjunction with fiber optics enables a remote measurement of dose, for the purpose radioprotection nuclear industry and medicine (radiology, radiotherapy). Alumina OSL crystals are because their low Z, fading optical transparency which improves sensitivity. An optoelectronic portable dosemeter has been designed tested that shows dose detection 50 µGy 20 meter-long fiber. Following irradiation, all trapped electrons released under...
Dynamic measurements of detonation velocity profiles are performed using long Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings (CFBGs).Such thin probes, with a diameter typically 150 µm, inserted directly into high explosive sample or simply positioned laterally.During the detonation, width reflected optical spectrum is continuously reduced by propagation wave-front, which physically shortens CFBG.The intensity delivers ramp down signal type, related to profile.Experimental were on side three different...
This article proposes an innovative multichannel optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosemeter for on-line in vivo dose verification radiation therapy. OSL fibre sensors incorporating small Al2O3:C crystals (TLD500) have been tested with X-ray generator. A reproducible readout procedure should reduce the fading-induced uncertainty (∼− 1% per decade). readouts are temperature-dependent [∼0.3% K−1 when stimulation is performed at same temperature as irradiation; ∼0.16% after thermalisation...
Dynamic measurements of shock and detonation velocities are performed using long chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs). Such thin probes, with a diameter typically 125 µm or even 80 can be directly inserted into high-explosive (HE) samples simply glued laterally. During the detonation, width optical spectrum is continuously reduced by propagation wave-front, which physically shortens CFBG. The light power reflected back shows ramp-down type signal, from wave-front position obtained as...
Following the pioneering work of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings are investigated as in situ, real-time, wavelength-position discriminators for measuring detonation speeds inside explosives.
High pressure shock profiles are monitored using a long Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). Such thin probe, with diameter of typically 150 μm, can be inserted directly into targets for plate experiments. The shocked FBG's portion is stressed under compression, which increases its optical group index and shortens grating period. Placed along the 2D symmetrical axis cylindrical target, second effect stronger reflected spectrum shifts towards shorter wavelengths. dynamic evolution FBG spectra recorded...
Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) are used to measure shock velocity, detonation wave profile or pressure in inert and energetic materials.
