Abstract: Optical Fiber Sensing in Harsh Environments
Optical fiber sensors are advantageous because they are immune to electromagnetic interference, are inert, and the interrogation system can be removed a long distance away from sensing location. This paper presents the results of high strain rate measurements with example measurements in an electromagnetic railgun and body armor. Optical fiber sensors have also been applied in harsh environments with measurements of temperature up to 1000 degrees C, measurement of electric field within the beam of a high-power microwave weapon, and high electric field up to 18 MV/m.
