HIGH TEMPERATURE RANGE AND HIGH STRAIN RANGE TRANSPARENT COMPOSITES BASED ON MATRICES HAVING OPTICALLY TUNABLE REFRACTIVE INDICES

A system may include a composite structure and a light source. The composite structure may include a matrix having a matrix refractive index, a plurality of fibers embedded in the matrix, and a light-reactive material in the matrix. The light source may be capable of emitting light of an activation...

Zusammenfassung:A system may include a composite structure and a light source. The composite structure may include a matrix having a matrix refractive index, a plurality of fibers embedded in the matrix, and a light-reactive material in the matrix. The light source may be capable of emitting light of an activation wavelength that induces a reaction in the light-reactive material causing a change in the matrix refractive index.
