This paper proposes a new approach to detecting bolts' anchoring qualities based on the fiber Bragg grating sensing principle. Basically, Fiber Optic Bragg Sensors are strain-measuring devices and therefore provide many of the advantages of the well known metal foil strain gages. This paper gives a short introduction to FBG sensors, points out their special strengths and weaknesses and describes a measuring system which.

This Special Issue focuses on the innovative design of optical fiber sensor structures, including fiber Bragg gratings, long-period gratings, interferometric sensors, and advanced micro-structured fibers. Optical fiber sensors are devices that use optical fibers to detect and measure various parameters such as temperature, pressure, strain, and refractive index. The apparatus includes a heating source (110) and a robotic articulate arm (130) that may modify the geometry of an optical fiber (150). Nowadays fiber optic refractive index sensors are widely used in various fields such as chemical, biochemical, and in an industry field. The optical fibre can be used as a distributed sensor by exploiting light scattering effects or as a quasi-distributed sensor network by functionalizing the fibre through Bragg gratings photo-inscription for instance.

A new platform with thousands of fiber grating array during fiber draw is proposed for fiber-optic sensing. Ultra-weak FBG (UWFBG) array for distributed fiber-optic sensing applications is developed and experimentally demonstrated. The system comprises a fiber drawing apparatus for drawing an optical fiber, a writing system for inscribing a grating in the optical fiber during the drawing process of the optical fiber and a controller for.
