Abstract
The invention relates to a method for integrating an optical waveguide (3) of a temperature sensor and/or strain sensor into a temperature and/or strain measuring component (1) made of a base material (2), onto which a coating (5) is applied. The optical waveguide (3) is arranged on a predetermined measurement plane, whereupon a coating (5) is applied. The aim of the invention is to allow an optical waveguide (3) to be accurately integrated into and tightly joined to the body of a temperature and/or strain measuring component (1). Said aim is achieved by arranging the optical waveguide (3) within, on top of, or on a plane of the temperature and/or strain measuring component (1), said plane delimiting the base material (2) of the temperature and/or strain measuring component (1) and forming a predetermined measurement plane, and then applying a coating material (5a) to said plane of the temperature and/or strain measuring component (1) made of the base material (2) such that the coating is formed which integrally joins the optical waveguide (3) or a tube (4) surrounding the optical waveguide (3) to the base material (2) and/or to adjacent coated zones.
