| dc.description.abstract | This thesis describes the implementation of a mechanical strain sensor which uses concentric core optical fiber waveguide as the sensing element. When this particular type of fiber is strained, a transfer of optical power occurs between propagating modes in the two concentric cylindrical cores of the fiber. This strain-induced redistribution of optical power may be detected at the output end of the fiber using either two separated optical detectors or a two dimensional detector array. The calibrated strain sensitivity of the sensor is reported and suggestions for continuing research are discussed. | en |
