Flexible Force Sensors Using Fiber Bragg Grating

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a newly designed flexible optical fiber force sensors which use fiber Bragg gratings and diaphragm and bridge type transducer, to detect a distributed normal force and which is the first step toward realizing a tactile sensor using optical fiber sensors (FBG). The transducer is designed such that it is not affected by chirping and light loss to enhance the performance of the sensors. We also present the design and fabrication process and experimental verification of the prototype sensors.
