    摘要: A method of measuring strain comprises providing laminated material comprising two or more ply layers and having a thickness along a direction orthogonal to a plane defined by the ply layers, and comprising a strain sensor embedded between adjacent ply layers, wherein: the strain sensor comprises a first planar optical waveguide and a second planar optical waveguide, each of the first planar optical waveguide and the second planar optical waveguide having a waveguiding core defining an optical propagation direction parallel to the plane of the laminated material and a Bragg grating in the waveguiding core, the optical propagation direction of the first planar optical waveguide being non-parallel to the optical propagation direction of the second planar waveguide; interrogating the Bragg grating of the first planar optical waveguide with transverse electric (TE) polarized light and with transverse magnetic (TM) polarized light to obtain a TE spectral response of the Bragg grating for the TE polarized light and a TM spectral response of the Bragg grating for the TM polarized light; interrogating the Bragg grating of the second planar optical waveguide with TE polarized light and with TM polarized light to obtain a TE spectral response of the Bragg grating for the TE polarized light and a TM spectral response of the Bragg grating for the TM polarized light; and processing the TE spectral response and the TM spectral response of the first planar optical waveguide and the TE spectral response and the TM spectral response of the second planar optical waveguide to extract at least a through-thickness component of strain within the laminated material which is aligned along the direction of the thickness of the laminated material.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an optical structure comprises providing a layer of single crystal crystalline silicon supported on an insulating surface of a silicon substrate; using etching to remove part of the silicon layer and define a side wall which is non-parallel to the insulating surface of the substrate; forming a layer of insulating material over the side wall; forming a further layer of silicon over at least the insulating material; and removing the silicon of the further layer to a level of the layer of silicon such that the layer of insulating material occupies a slot between a portion of silicon in the layer and a portion of silicon in the further layer, a thickness of the layer of insulating material defining a width of the slot.
