State-of-the-Art Optical Sensor Solutions

Blue Road Research is dedicated to the development and application of state-of-the-art fiber optic sensor technology. Our efforts to further this technology and its practical application include ongoing consulting, educational offerings, cutting-edge product development, and research and development activities.

	Crack Detection The Aging Aircraft Smart Patch, developed by Blue Road Research, uses the latest in embedded fiber optic sensor technology to provide a rapid NDE method to locate and quantify crack propagation and monitor bond lines.	Relative Humidity & Temperature Relative Humidity and Temperature sensors, developed by Blue Road Research, provide accurate environmental monitoring in potentially corrosive environments.
	Optical Strain Imaging Optical Strain Imaging (OSI), developed by Blue Road Research, uses the latest in embedded fiber optic sensor technology to provide a rapid NDE method to locate and quantify damage in any size of composite structure.	Conformal Deformation Blue Road Research uses wavelength multiplexed arrays of Fiber Bragg grating strain sensors to provide inputs to shape calculation algorithms for real time conformal deformation measurements.
