<p>A distributed, spatially resolving optical fiber strain gauge (13) in which the core (19) of the optical fiber (15) is written with periodic grating patterns (16) effective for transmitting and reflecting light injected into the core (19). Spectral shifts in the transmitted and reflected light indicate the intensity of strain or temperature variations at positions of the grating (16) corresponding to the associated wavelength of injected light.</p> |
