Abstract
Standard single mode fibers terminated with small diameter collimators are coupled to fiber Bragg gratings to demonstrate a generic approach for optical strain measurement in rapidly rotating structures which does not require optical ingress via the central rotation axis. Strain has been measured dynamically for a drum rotating at rates of up to 5000 rpm, and results agree very well with numerical calculations.
