Abstract Scope |
Functional materials integrated with advanced sensing systems can play a key role in enhancing functionality without increasing device complexity, an important consideration for a wide range of harsh environment sensing applications. In the case of electrical system monitoring, compatibility with energized electrical systems presents unique opportunities for optical fiber-based sensing technologies, however the cost of traditional fiber optic sensors is often prohibitive with exception of critical assets. Engineered optical materials that leverage the unique photonic and electronic properties of nanostructured and nanocomposite materials can provide novel solutions for monitoring of critical parameters of interest such as temperature, magnetic field, and gas phase chemistry with low-cost sensing solutions that enable widespread deployment. Recent advances in thin film integrated fiber optic sensors for electrical system applications will be discussed with emphasis on advances in monitoring of new parameters of critical importance as well as sensor technology maturation and deployment. |
