Book: Optical Fiber Sensor Technology

written in this book

The ideal FOS for strain measurement in civil structures would be:

1. stable
2. localized
3. of adequate sensitivity & dynamic range
4. insensitive to thermal fluctuation
5. capable of absolute measurement
6. nonpertubative to the structure
7. immune to power interruption
8. able to multiplex
9. easy to mass procedure
10. durable for the lifetime of the structure
