چکیده
We present modeling, design, fabrication and characterization of a new type of all-optical frequency modulated MEMS force sensor based on a mechanically amplified double clamped waveguide beam structure with integrated Bragg grating. The sensor is ideally suited for force measurements in harsh environments and for remote and distributed sensing and has a measured sensitivity of -14 nm/N, which is several times higher than what is obtained in conventional fiber Bragg grating force sensors.

A Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing-Based Micro-Vibration Sensor and Its Application
This paper proposes a fiber Bragg grating sensing-based micro-vibration sensor. The optical fiber has been directly treated as an elastomer to design the micro-vibration sensor, which possesses two FBGs. The mass is fixed on the middle of the fiber, and the vertical vibration of the mass has been converted into the axial tension/compression of the fiber. The principle of the sensor has been int...
متن کاملFibre Bragg Sensors Compared with Electrical Strain Gauges for Use in Force Measurement - Prospects and Potentials
− This article deals with the technical properties of fiber Bragg gratings with regard to their use as the strain-sensitive element in force transducers. Electrical strain gages are widely used in modern, precise force transducers. The electrical strain gage provides both outstanding technical properties and cost-effectiveness. Besides the electrical strain gage, the measurement principle of fi...
متن کاملA Noncontact Force Sensor Based on a Fiber Bragg Grating and Its Application for Corrosion Measurement
A simple noncontact force sensor based on an optical fiber Bragg grating attached to a small magnet has been proposed and built. The sensor measures the force between the magnet and any ferromagnetic material placed within a few millimeters of the sensor. Maintaining the sensor at a constant standoff distance, material loss due to corrosion increases the distance between the magnet and the corr...
متن کاملFiber Bragg grating strain modulation based on nonlinear string transverse-force amplifier.
The only effective method of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain modulation has been by changing the distance between its two fixed ends. We demonstrate an alternative that is more sensitive to force based on the nonlinear amplification relationship between a transverse force applied to a stretched string and its induced axial force. It may improve the sensitivity and size of an FBG force sensor, ...
متن کاملDesign of a Rectangular Plate Optical Pressure Sensor Waveguide with Integrated Bragg Grating
This paper presents the design and simulation of a rectangular plate optical pressure sensor waveguide. The waveguide has a nano-scale Bragg grating introduced on the upper half area. The Bragg grating shows a considerable deformation, when it is subjected to tangential strain, which forms the basic sensing principal for the design. The free space wavelength of 1.55μm and Bragg spacing of 0.5μm...
