High Temperature Sensors

• Development of sapphire optical fiber for IR transmission and very high temperature applications
• These sensors are used as stress/strain sensors, or for temperature measurement

Stress & Strain Sensors

• Sensors are embedded into various materials (ceramic, polymer and metallic) and structures for in-situ and real-time analysis
• These sensors are used to evaluate the integrity of the structure as a real-time monitoring network to predict structural weakness

Smart Textiles

• Smart vest with integrated optical fibers and electronic wires for sensing environmental changes such as temperature and chemicals
• Smart fabrics ranging from woven and non-woven to knitted structures designed for medical and military applications
