An elastomer-embedded distributed optical fiber sensor based on optical frequency domain reflectometry

This study investigates a U-shaped low-bend-loss single-mode fiber embedded in an elastomer pad and interrogated by optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) for distributed deformation sensing. The OFDR measurements used a 2.6 mm gage pitch over an approximately 1.27 m measu...
