Offer the capability of remote monitoring in real-time for analyzing the structural integrity of
critical components using embedded devices.
Operational at higher temperatures than most conventional piezoelectric ceramic sensors,
which have a maximum operational temperature of 423K
Unaffected by electromagnetic interference. Hence, the integration of FOS into environments
where electromagnetic radiation is present is of no concern.
A typical p1iezoelectric sensor has higher dimensions of length hence embedding them is
impossible, whereas FOS are lightweight, with a small diameter (~250 um) to enable them to
be embedded into composite structures. They can also be multiplexed so as to accommodate
multiple sensors simultaneously.

Fused Tapered Merging of two optical fibres via etching, polishing or fibre fusion. An AE stress
Coupler wave interacts with the fibres causing a change in the effective strain field, thus
altering the coupling ratio output of the two fibers.
Mach-Zehnder A beam splitter separates incoming light into two components to a sensing and
Interferometer reference fibre. The sensing fibre is usually coated with a material that is sensitive
to the parameter of interest. The phase of the light propagating through the sensing
fibre alters with the influence of an external parameter.
Michelson Like the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, a beam splitter separates incoming light
Interferometer into two components. The sensitivity of the interferometer can be dependent on
the length of the exposed fibre.
Fabry-Perot Insertion of two cleaved fibres into a capillary housing. Analysis of the transmitted
Interferometer and reflected waves between the two fibre-ends creates a multiple peak
wavelength trace on an optical spectrum analyser .
Fibre Bragg Manufactured by inscribing a grating into the fibre core with a high-powered UV
Grating laser. The reflection of a low-power laser captured by an optical spectrum analyser
determines the wavelength peak from the grating.

• Throughout the project we will encounter various stages of it and learn successfully.
• The user credentials and real time data needs to be stored and monitored ,hence
Database management System comes into play.
• A very good method of water distribution system which aims towards sustainable
environment and reduces water wastage to a large extent.
• Will definitely motivate to take up larger day to problems and find sustainable solutions
for them using the technical knowledge.
