Nanocomposite-coated optical fibres for improved distributed sensing performance in harsh environment

• Draw tower fabrication of a novel optical fibre with nanocomposite polymer coating is reported. Preliminary results show it is more robust to high-temperature ageing, and moisture-induced strain than standard polymer fibres when used for distributed sensing.
