Home / Strain sensitivity of single-mode fiber
Axial strain may be determined by monitoring the phase shift of a single mode optical fiber. Whenever an optical fiber is under stress, the optical path length, the index of refraction, and the propagation constants of each fiber mode change. We present a high-sensitivity curvature and strain Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) fiber sensor based on a configuration of no-core fiber (NCF) and four-core fiber (FCF). We used an optical fiber fusion splicer to directly splice a segment of FCF between two segments of NCF, with both the FCF and.
