Monitoring of high pressure with optical fibre sensor using microbends in the embedded fibre

摘要

In this paper an attempt has been made to work out the possibility of using emebedded optical fibre with artificial microbends as pressure sensor. The results show that this type of pressure sensor may be effectively used as a monitoring device for changing pressure on a structure. Th test has been made with araldite as the background material because of it high industrial use, ease of moulding and easy availability.
