Weight Measurements by Using Simple Optical-Fiber Sensors (RESEARCH NOTE)

The use of different optical-fiber sensors for weighing measurements is Abstract described. By using three different mechanical stressing mechanisms, the operation of the fiber-to-fiber transducer systems are tested and the results are presented. Parameters such as sensitivity, hysteresis, resolution, and dynamic range are measured. A comparison of the results has shown that the sensor system m...

Optical Triangulation Range Sensors

The close range manœuvres of an autonomous vehicle such as obstacle avoidance, parking and docking require range sensing which is robust, high bandwidth and accurate at short ranges. Range sensors based on active optical triangulation are currently among the best means of realising these requirements. Although the geometric principle of sensing is simple and proven, it is not obvious, for a giv...

Optical fibre microwire sensors

This paper reviews sensing applications of optical fibre microwires and nanowires. In addition to the usual benefits of sensors based on optical fibres, these sensors are extremely compact and have fast response speeds. In this review sensors will be grouped in three categories according to their morphology: linear sensors, resonant sensors and tip sensors. While linear and resonant sensors mai...
