    摘要: A creep-resistant optical fiber attachment includes an optical fiber 10, having a cladding 12 and a core 14, having a variation region 16 (expanded or recessed) of an outer dimension on of the cladding and a structure, such as a ferrule 30, disposed against least a portion of the variation region 16. The fiber 10 is held in tension against the ferrule and the ferrule 30 has a size and shape that mechanically locks the ferrule 30 to the variation 16, thereby holding the fiber 10 in tension against the ferrule 30 with minimal relative movement (or creep) in at least one axail direction between the fiber 10 and the ferrule 30. The ferrule 30 may be attached to or part of a larger structure, such as a housing. The variation 16 and the ferrule 30 may have various different shapes and sizes. There may also be a buffer layer 18 between the cladding 12 and the ferrule 30 to protect the fiber 10 and/or to help secure the ferrule 30 to the fiber 10 to minimize creep.

    摘要: A method and device for pressure sensing using an optical fiber having a core, a cladding and a Bragg grating imparted in the core for at least partially reflecting an optical signal at a characteristic wavelength. The cladding has two variation regions located on opposite sides of the Bragg grating to allow attachment mechanisms to be disposed against the optical fiber. The attachment mechanisms are mounted to a pressure sensitive structure so as to allow the characteristic wavelength to change according to pressure in an environment. In particular, the variation region has a diameter different from the cladding diameter, and the attachment mechanism comprises a ferrule including a front portion having a profile substantially corresponding to at least a portion of the diameter of the variation region and a butting mechanism which holds the ferrule against the optical fiber.

    摘要: An accelerometer has a main body in combination with one or more Bragg grating sensors respectively arranged along one or more axes. The main body has a mass that responds to an acceleration, for providing a force having a component in one or more axes. The Bragg grating sensor means responds to the force, and further responds to an optical signal, for providing a Bragg grating sensor signal containing information about the acceleration respectively in one or more axes. The one or more axes may include orthogonal axes such as the X, Y and Z Euclidian axes. In one embodiment, the main body includes a proof mass and a pair of flexure disks, each having an inner ring, an outer ring, and radial splines connecting the inner ring and the outer ring. The proof mass is slidably arranged between the flexure disks. The Bragg grating means has an optical fiber and a Bragg grating sensor arranged therein. A first end of the Bragg grating sensor is fixedly coupled by a first ferrule to the proof mass. A second end of the Bragg grating sensor is fixedly coupled by a second ferrule to a housing of the accelerometer. In operation, the compression or stretching of a Bragg grating sensor causes a wavelength shift in the optical signal that contains information about the acceleration and that is sensed by a detector.
