The FAOS-project develops a new paradigm for flexible optical sensors integrated with electronic modules and control circuitry. It is aiming at developing a generic technology that offers an integrated solution to this increasing demand and will mean a breakthrough in the field of optical sensing. The project aims at developing a flexible substrate or foil in which the sensing elements can be integrated and in which also the light sources, detectors and electronic circuitry are embedded or integrated on compact signal processing boards. This artificial and flexible optical sensing foil can then be applied to irregular surfaces (e.g. for distributed sensing applications), on moveable surfaces (e.g. in robotics) or can folded into compact modules (for portable devices, automotive, etc).

FAOS Brings together the expertise of 4 research groups at the 3 main Flemish Universities
|
FAOS is about new fibers sensors, new materials, integration and demonstration.
