A novel type of fiber-optic pressure transducer has been developed and tested for biomedical application. It consists of two parts: a pressure-sensing membrane and a fiber-optic displacement transducer which is based on the light intensity loss caused by angular misalignment between two fibers. The light intensity change is registered by a photodiode. The pressure transducer is registered by a photodiode...
