Summary on Grant Application Form
The application is for a platform grant to underpin the photonic instrumentation and sensors activities within the Schools of Engineering, Applied Sciences and Health at Cranfield University. The nature of the platform grant is primarily to support salaries of researchers and support staff. The areas of research to be supported under this grant are:(i) Sensors based on nanostructured films deposited on optical fibre devices(ii) Sensing technology based upon micromachined optical fibres and silica nanowires(iii) Optical Coherence Tomography(iv) Optical instrumentation for aerodynamic applications(v) Optical instrumentation for geotechnical applications(v) Optical fibre sensors for composite material process monitoring (vi) Optical gas detection
