Abstract
The paper briefly reviews a number of methods for multiplexing optical-fibre-based strain sensors. These are intended for application for structural monitoring, for example in aerospace composites or civil engineering structures. Particular emphasis is placed on methods for addressing arrays of sensors using acousto-optic tunable filters and optical time domain reflectometry, which have been recently developed in the authors´ laboratory
