The PHOSFOS (Photonic Skins For Optical Sensing) project<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.phosfos.eu/eng/Phosfos/About-us/Project-Summary |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111127030416/http://www.phosfos.eu/eng/Phosfos/About-us/Project-Summary |archive-date=2011-11-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref> is developing flexible and stretchable foils or skins that integrate optical sensing elements with optical and electrical devices, such as onboard signal processing and wireless communications, as seen in Figure 1. These flexible skins can be wrapped around, embedded in, and anchored to irregularly shaped or moving objects and allow quasi-distributed sensing of mechanical quantities such as deformation, pressure, stress, and strain.<ref>http://spie.org/x38859.xml?highlight=x2406&ArticleID=x38859</ref> This approach offers advantages over conventional sensing systems, such as increased portability and measurement range.
