Line 5: ==Project Description== [[File:PhosFOS_flexible_skin.jpg\|thumbnail\|right\|400px\|Figure 21: Scattering of HeNe laser light from noise gratings recorded in PMMA using a 325 nm HeCd laser]] PHOSFOS (Photonic Skins For Optical Sensing) <ref>http://www.phosfos.eu/</ref> aims to develop a flexible and stretchable foil or skin that integrates the optical sensing elements with optical and electrical devices as well as onboard signal processing and wireless communications. This flexible skin can be wrapped around, embedded in, attached and anchored to irregularly shaped and/or moving objects or bodies and will allow quasi-distributed sensing of mechanical quantities such as deformation, pressure, stress or strain <ref>http://spie.org/x38859.xml?highlight=x2406&ArticleID=x38859</ref>. This approach potentially gives a significant advnatage over conventional sensing systems because of the portablility of the resulting systems and the extended measurement range.
