A ribbon-like sensor assembly is described wherein a length of an optical
fiber embedded within a similar lengths of a prepreg tow. The fiber is
"sandwiched" by two layers of the prepreg tow which are merged to form a
single consolidated ribbon. The consolidated ribbon achieving a generally
uniform distribution of composite filaments near the embedded fiber such
that excess resin does not "pool" around the periphery of the embedded
fiber.
A cinta-como el conjunto del sensor se describe en donde una longitud de una fibra óptica encajada dentro de longitudes similares de un remolque del prepreg. La fibra "es intercalada" por dos capas del remolque del prepreg que se combinen para formar una sola cinta consolidada. La cinta consolidada que alcanza una distribución generalmente uniforme de filamentos compuestos cerca de la fibra encajada tales que exceso de la resina "no reúne" alrededor de la periferia de la fibra encajada.
