Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed relating to composite photonic materials used to design structures and detecting material deformation for the purpose of monitoring structural health of physical structures. According to one aspect, a composite structure is provided that includes a base material, an optical diffraction grating and one or more fluorophore materials constructed such that localized perturbations create a measurable change in the structure's diffraction pattern. An inspection device is also provided that is configured to detect perturbations in the composite structure. The inspection device is configured to emit an inspecting radiation into the structure and capture the refracted radiation and measure the change in the diffraction pattern and quantify the perturbation based on the wavelength and the angular information for the diffracted radiation.

Claim (Index 17):
The device of  claim 16 , further comprising:\n a laser emitter configured to emit a beam of radiation having a specific wavelength onto a particular location on the sample; a detector configured to capture at least one diffracted beam and measure an intensity of the at least one captured beam and a corresponding position on the detector, wherein the at least one diffracted beam is a result of the sample diffracting the emitted beam; wherein the processor is further configured by executing the one or more software modules to receive the measured intensity and the corresponding position for the at least one captured beam and determine a displacement of any perturbations at the particular location on the sample by:\n calculating a diffraction angle for the particular location on the sample as a function of the corresponding position of the at least one captured beam, and \n calculating a second periodicity value for the particular location on the sample according to the calculated diffraction angle and a prescribed grating characteristic of the sample, and \n computing an amount of deformation for the particular location based on a difference between the second periodicity value and a reference periodicity for the particular location.
