We review the state-of-the-art in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based mechanical sensing. We then introduce our recently developed highly birefringent PCF that allows pressure and force sensing when combined with a fiber Bragg grating sensor. We clarify the measurement principle and explain how the optimized microstructure of the PCF yields its record-high sensitivity. In addition we demonstrate the...
We review the state-of-the-art in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) based mechanical sensing. We first introduce how the unique properties of PCF can benefit Bragg grating based temperature insensitive pressure and transverse load sensing. Then we describe how the latest developments in mPOF Bragg grating technology can enhance optical fiber pressure sensing...
We developed a highly birefringent micro-structured optical fiber that, in combination with a fiber Bragg grating sensor, allows measuring transverse strains in reinforced composites. The first generation of this dedicated fiber sensor featured a hydrostatic pressure sensitivity of −15 pm/MPa and yielded a transverse strain sensitivity of −0.16 pm/µε when embedded in a carbon fiber reinforced polymer...
