Shown in optical fibre bending sensor structure such as Fig. 1 (a) with the air gap of the present invention, using single mode step index fiber, Including fibre core and covering, the refractive index of fibre core is n1, the refractive index of radius a, covering are n2, radius R, on the top of optical fiber Open up a width be d, the gap that depth is H, constitute the optical fibre bending sensor with the air gap.In figure, n3It is rolled over for air Penetrate rate.
The measuring principle of the present invention is as follows:
The optical fibre bending sensor with the air gap of above-mentioned design is pasted onto in measurement structure, open end is outward. As shown in Fig. 1 (b), when optical fiber follows measurement structure to bend, with the variation of bending angle, pass through this air gap Light intensity also change, the bending radius of measurement structure obtained by the light intensity attenuation of the air gap by measuring.Such as Fig. 3 institutes Show, when differently curved degree, light intensity attenuation situation is different, influence light intensity attenuation factor mainly have it is following:
