Abstract

Microbend losses have been used as the transduction mechanism in intensity modulated optical fiber sensors for the measurement of various physical variables such as pressure, strain, temperature, acceleration, magnetic, and electric fields 1-4. These sensors are attractive for the industrial sector because of their robust construction and simple signalprocessing techniques.
