“…Embedded Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), as well as extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors, have been used extensively to monitor strain and temperature in composite structures, during curing or service [4][5][6]. An FBG sensor has many advantages such as: low weight and small size, high sensitivity, long life, resistance to extreme environmental conditions, simplicity of fabrication, and easy embedding into a composite patch.…”
