Abstract:This project demonstrates the prototype of a low-cost strain sensor by directly coupling light from a resonant cavity light emitting diode into a single mode fiber with a fiber Bragg grating and detecting the transmitted light using a fiber-coupled photodiode. While most strain sensors use expensive techniques for measuring the spectral shift in the reflected or transmitted light from the fiber Bragg grating, such as optical spectrum analyzers or spectrometers, this project demonstrates the use of a silicon ph… Show more
