ABSTRACT:
Highly sensitive, fiber optical cables, embedded in titanium, and remaining free from the refractive distortion ordinarily attributable to the presence of diffused titanium molecules in the fiber, are made possible by an optical fiber-intermetallic composite having a titanium aluminide barrier layer between the optical fiber material and a titanium matrix material. The composite forms a useful means of optically sensing and monitoring the environmental and structural disturbances to which titanium aircraft structures are exposed.
