The ability to continually assess a structure's integrity and
state of strain is of key importance for many structures in aerospace
and civil engineering. Bragg fiber optic sensors have been identified
as one of the most promising sensors for these applications. However,
practical use of these sensors requires the development of compact,
rugged, low cost demodulation systems to monitor them. This
presentation will review some recent developments in instrumentation
for Bragg fiber optic sensing, including quantum well
electroabsorption photodetector (QWEP) based wavelength measurement
systems and tunable laser based interrogation systems.
