The Photonic Engineering Group (TAP) of the University of Alcalá (Spain), in collaboration with the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (Switzerland), it has designed optical fiber sensors capable of continuously monitoring large infrastructures, allowing detection with great precision and, most importantly, in advance, erosion or fissures in bridges, dams or railways. The results of this work have just been published in the magazine Optic letters.
