Fibre Optics and Photonics are uniquely suited for distributed, remote sensing and monitoring applications in harsh environments. Self-calibrating, the QPS VibroFibre™ fibre gratings sensors are passive and immune to EMI and RFI; they have been successfully introduced to stator end winding monitoring. The solution we offered is a World First for FBG fibre optics.
