This Engage Plus project will continue a research ended in a previous Engage project and will have significant applications for potential end-users in the energy and mining sectors, in addition to directly benefiting QPS Photronics Inc. The latter is a Canadian high tech company and a world-class leader of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor technology and solutions. Under this study is a new technology essential for the safe operation of engineering structures such as the power generators, the mining equipment and the oil and gas pipelines. Typically for down-well and pipeline applications the environment temperatures reach 300°C and above or cycle at -50°C to 125°C extremes. Advanced sensor technologies that can endure harsh working conditions and maintain stable operation for five years are rare but in high demand. Improving the current sensor capacity and reliability will significantly impact the company's R&D and commercialization efforts, helping its business

这个Engage Plus项目将继续之前的Engage项目中结束的研究，除了直接使QPS光电子公司受益外，还将对能源和采矿行业的潜在最终用户产生重大应用。QPS光电子公司是一家加拿大高科技公司，是光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)传感器技术和解决方案的世界级领先者。这项研究为发电机、采矿设备和油气管道等工程结构的安全运行提供了一项必不可少的新技术。通常，对于井下和管道应用，环境温度达到300°C或以上，或在-50°C至125°C的极端温度下循环。能够承受恶劣工作条件并保持五年稳定运行的先进传感器技术虽然罕见，但需求量很大。提高目前的传感器能力和可靠性将对公司的研发和商业化努力产生重大影响，有助于其业务
