Structures Monitoring with Fiber Optic Sensors

Laser measuring instruments have big market opportunity in structures monitoring by fiber optic sensing technologies. This video shows several structures already monitored by fiber optic sensors or having great potential to be monitored by fiber optic sensors. The actual cost of specialized interrogators for fiber optic sensors prohibit the wide spread use of fiber optic sensing technologies. NGP Inc. is currently working on a low-cost laser measuring instrument with tunable fiber optic laser for interrogating all types of fiber optic sensors appropriate for structure monitoring.
