Fiber-optic sensors offer significant potential for application in the automotive industry. They can be used for real-time monitoring of the performance of various parts in a vehicle. The present work is directed toward the development of novel types of embedded sensors for composites. Two types of sensors, one for high temperature use in engine compartments and the other for the general body chassis are reported. A special type of optical fiber has been developed for sensor applications in very high temperature environment (up to 1600 deg C). In addition, an inexpensive and sensitive technique for monitoring of the structural integrity of composite mechanical systems has been developed and tested. The developed technique is based on the spatial intensity modulation induced in multimode optical fibers.
