fiber optic bend sensors

Timothée Boitouzet and Sara Hendren Fiber optic bend sensors blend the powerful transmission properties of optical fibers with multiple sensing capabilities. Through detectable changes in the longitudinal bend of the fiber shaft, these sensors can track changes in strain, pressure, and more—and can sense multiple properties at once in their multi-modal form. Their small size [...]
