A1 - Schukar, Marcus A1 - Krebber, Katerina T1 - Real-time strain sensing based on POF OTDR T2 - Proceedings of the 16th international conference on plastic optical fibers N2 - We investigate two real-time strain sensing principles based on the optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) in polymer optical fibres (POF). The first sensing principle uses the increase of the level of backscattered light in a stretched POF. The second sensing principle uses the effect of losses due to bending.
