Abstract
Few-mode, elliptical core fibers embedded in graphite-epoxy composites have been shown to detect the strain and vibration effects on the host material. A theoretical description of the sensor operation is presented and the insensitivity of the lead-in and lead-out fibers to strain is investigated. A scheme using a single-mode elliptical-core fiber as the lead-in fiber and an offset circular core single mode fiber as the lead-out fiber is successfully implemented. The effect on the sensitivity of the system, when the fibers are embedded between different layers of the laminate, is evaluated.
