Additional information

Represented a key advance in our effort to develop Bragg grating sensor technology in polymer fibres with advantages beyond glass optical fibres. First demonstration of sensor in a material solving the problem of humidity sensitivity of existing polymer fibres and permitting extended (>100 °C) temperature operation. Preceded by brief Electronics Letter (DOI: 10.1049/el.2010.7347) – featured in that journal editorial (http://kn.theiet.org/magazine/eletters/4704/reason-to-bragg.cfm). This breakthrough secured Marie Curie IEF (POFBG - 200k Euro to Aston), which seeks to commercialise the gratings via Astasense Ltd. (Dr. Kate Sugden, enquiries@astasense.co.uk). Led to Marie Curie ITN (TRIPOD 700kEuro) ranked 1st of 200 Engineering proposals.
