What is it about?
In this article, a geometrical optimization procedure using biconical tapered fiber sensors is proposed for monitoring the early-age curing temperatures of concrete specimens. The geometries of the sensors are theoretically optimized by the ray-tracing theory.

Why is it important?
The numerical results demonstrate that higher performance of the proposed optimized sensors can be achieved by a longer taper length and smaller taper ratio combined with an initial ray launching angle of 0.01 rad.
Perspectives
An experimental study on early-age curing temperature monitoring of concrete specimens with the biconical tapered fiber sensors agree well with the theoretical results.
