9871036FuhrFibers optic sensors possess particular advantages over conventional electrical and/or electro-mechanical based sensors. An application of fiber optic sensors is within the civil structures arena resulting in the notion of a "smart structure"- a structure with embedded sensing capabilities. We have been involved in this research arena for a number of years culminating in the embedding of fiber optic sensors into large civil structures such as buildings, bridges, roadways and a hydroelectric dam.Funds are requested for the purchase of photonic test equipment to significantly enhance ongoing research activities in smart structures and fiber optic sensing. In order to use the advances in sensor technology requires a major updating of the equipment infrastructures used to extract measurements from these embedded sensors.

9871036 Fuhr光纤传感器比传统的电子和/或机电传感器具有特殊的优势。 光纤传感器在土木结构竞技场中的应用导致了“智能结构”的概念-具有嵌入式传感能力的结构。 我们在这一领域的研究竞技场已经有数年的时间，最终将光纤传感器嵌入到大型民用结构中，如建筑物、桥梁、道路和水电站大坝。我们需要资金购买光子测试设备，以显著加强智能结构和光纤传感方面正在进行的研究活动。 为了利用传感器技术的进步，需要对用于从这些嵌入式传感器中提取测量值的设备基础设施进行重大更新。
