Advanced Optical Techniques for Sensing and Imaging in Harsh Environments

[摘要] Advances in aircraft propulsion technologies require new techniques for performance evaluation of aircraft components and subsystems as well as reliable in-flight control and health management. Those components and subsystems operate in harsh environments and for a proper operation these environments should be constantly monitored to obtain the designed performance of the engine. Optical techniques due to their immunity to electromagnetic radiation, chemical stability, and other unique features pose to meet the ever increasing requirements of the industry.The presentation will address applications of advanced optical techniques for both for sensing and imaging. In the process we will address fiber optics Bragg temperature sensors that were developed at NASA Glenn Research Center and tested at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center as well as other advanced techniques for sensing and imaging in harsh environments. The presentation will also include discussion on various applications of presented techniques and proposed directions for future development.
