## Abstract We present a new bend sensor which can measure the curvature using an etched fiber Bragg grating (FBG) embedded into a beam. The reflection power of the grating detected by an optical power meter varies linearly with the curvature of the beam. This sensor is independent of temperature.

Composite tube structures have been extensively used in automotive, aerospace and aircraft industries. In addition, the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor, a distinctive non-destructive tool, has begun to play an important role in structural health monitoring (SHM). This study aims to prove the feasib
In this paper, we present a Fiber-Bragg-Grating-based temperature sensor. The technique employs heterodyne detection using two Fiber Bragg Gratings. One of the gratings is used as a reference (local oscillator) and the second as a sensing arm. This sensor uses a Folded Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A
