A method of making an optical fiber-based sensor includes providing an optical fiber, and providing a sensing or protection layer on a surface of the optical fiber by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process.

Sensing and/or protection layers for optical fiber-based sensors using atomic layer deposition synthesis on optical fibers

Materials, methods of making, and methods of sensing liquid droplets with high spatial resolution as a signature of the on-set of corrosion using a hierarchical sensor network A hierarchical sensor network for sensing liquid droplets with high spatial resolution as a signature of the on-set of corrosion, including an interrogation system; and an intermediate sensor array layer in communication with the interrogation system. The network includes an interrogation system and an intermediate sensor array layer in communication with the interrogation system.

Distributed fiber-optic sensor network for sensing the corrosion onset and quantification

A system and method for forming a low cost optical sensor array. The sensor includes an optical fiber; a first nanocomposite thin film along at least a portion of the optical fiber for interrogating a first parameter through a correlated signal having a first wavelength; and a second nanocomposite thin film along at least a portion of the optical fiber for interrogating a second parameter through a correlated signal having a second wavelength different from the wavelength of the first parameter.
