Abstract:ABSTRACT:We present a new bend sensor which can measure the curvature using an etched fiber Bragg grating (FBG)
INTRODUCTIONFiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been received much attention in various fiber-optic sensor implementations [1,2]. These devices have some advantages, such as electrically passive operation, MI immunity, high sensitivity, and low cost. However, one of the most obvious limitations is their crossing sensitivity to temperature and strain. To solve this problem, several different technique… Show more
“…It can be seen through the above analysis that the axial sensitivity of the FBG probe with single core is as high as those of existing FBG sensors which have a theoretical resolution of hundreds of nanometers [12]. So, a nano-stage P-622.1CD was utilized to produce the axial displacement of tens of nanometers, but the radial sensitivity is not high as expected.…”

“…The axial resolution of a FBG probe with single core can usually reach several hundred nanometers or even higher, and it can be as high as that of a conventional FBG sensor [12]. The axial resolution of FBG probe with single core can be used for dimensional metrology with micro parts, but its radial sensitivity is not good enough to accomplish the measurement of micro parts of high aspect ratio.…”

The development is described of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) probes with single or four cores using spheres fixed onto optical fibers comprising Bragg gratings in their cores. Simulations and preliminary experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of these FBG probes for dimensional metrology with micro parts of high aspect ratio. Simulation and experimental results indicate that a one-dimensional FBG probe with single core can be used to achieve an axial resolution of 100 nm at an aspect ratio of 15:1. A three-dimensional FBG probe with four cores can be used to achieve a theoretical axial resolution as high as that of a FBG probe with single core, with a capability of decoupling two-dimensional radial displacements with a resolution of 13 nm.

“…The basic principle of operation commonly used in a FBG based sensor system is to monitor the shift in wavelength of the returned "Bragg" signal with the changes in the measurand (e.g., strain, temperature). The Bragg wavelength, or resonance condition of a grating, is given by the expression [10] B ϭ 2n eff ⌳…”

“…Al momento de obtener las relaciones necesarias para determinar la distancia entre el sensor y el eje neutro se deben tener presentes las siguientes ecuaciones [20]: La deformación que sufre la fibra está dada por (4), donde ∆L indica la variación de la longitud de la fibra, mientras que la relación entre la variación de longitud de onda, ∆λ, y la variación de la deformación de la fibra, ∆ǫ, viene dada por (5), donde la lámina en posición horizontal tiene un ∆ǫ = 0.…”
