Abstract
A sensor apparatus is provided in which both an optical interrogator and an optical waveguide are embedded in the same component made of fiber-reinforced plastic. The optical interrogator and the optical waveguide thus form a unit with the component made of fiber-reinforced plastic, in which they are embedded. The optical interrogator and the optical waveguide are arranged in this case protected in the same component made of fiber-reinforced plastic. The optical waveguide does not have to be led out of this component and into the interrogator. The risk of damage to the optical waveguide is thus significantly reduced.
