Fiber optic sensor networks in smart structures

Fiber optic sensors are of interest because of their robustness against environmental disturbances, low drift, and ease of integration. The relatively high population of measurement points also favors the estimation of displacement and temperature from discrete data. This together with techniques for integration into structural materials is discussed in the context of satellite structures.
