Implementation of vectorial bend sensors using long-period gratings UV-inscribed in special shape fibres
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review
We report the implementation of vector bending sensors using long-period gratings (LPGs) UV-inscribed in flat-clad, four-core and D-shaped fibres. Our experiments reveal a strong fibre-orientation dependence of the spectral response when such LPGs are subjected to dynamic bending, which provided an opportunity to realize curvature measurement with direction recognition.
