Therefore, the color visually recognized from the side surface of the optical fiber 11 at the position where the stress F is applied is dominated by the color mixture of the light with the wavelength ⁇ 1 and the light with the wavelength ⁇ 2 . For example, if the light with the wavelength ⁇ 1 is blue light and the light with the wavelength ⁇ 2 is red light, the color seen from the side surface of the optical fiber 11 at the position where the stress F is applied is a mixed color of blue light and red light. It will be purple.

- the stress sensor 3 by using the stress sensor 3, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
- the number of light sources can be reduced, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
- the light of wavelength ⁇ 1 and the light of wavelength ⁇ 2 are incident on the optical fiber 11 as in the first embodiment, the light of wavelength ⁇ 1 (for example, blue light) is applied from the stressed position.
- light of a wavelength ⁇ 2 for example, red light
- ⁇ 3 for example, green
- FIG. 12 is a schematic view illustrating the configuration of the stress sensor 4. Referring to FIG. 12, the stress sensor 4 is different from the stress sensor 3 (see FIG. 8) in that it includes a scattering member 15.
- FIG. 13 is a schematic view illustrating how the stress sensor 4 is used.
- a scattering member 15 is disposed on the side surface of the optical fiber 11.
- the leakage light enters the scattering member 15 and is scattered and the entire scattering member 15 is colored. Therefore, the visibility can be improved as compared with the case where the stress sensor 3 is used.
- the stress sensor 4 in addition to the effects obtained by the stress sensor 3, the following effects are further exhibited. That is, by disposing the scattering member 15 on the side surface of the optical fiber 11, light leakage enters the scattering member 15 and scatters and the entire scattering member 15 is colored. Can be improved.
- an optical fiber is not necessarily used, and a waveguide structure having an arbitrary shape having a core and a clad can be used.
- a slab type optical waveguide may be used instead of a fiber type optical waveguide such as an optical fiber.
- a spiral optical fiber may be embedded in the side wall of the detection target.
- three or more light sources may be used.

Abstract
Ce capteur de contrainte comprend : une source de lumière qui émet une lumière d'une première longueur d'onde et une lumière d'une deuxième longueur d'onde qui est différente de la première longueur d'onde ; et un guide d'ondes optique sur lequel sont incidentes la lumière de la première longueur d'onde et la lumière de la deuxième longueur d'onde. Le guide d'ondes optique est pourvu : d'un noyau dans lequel est dispersé un colorant fluorescent ; et d'une gaine recouvrant la circonférence du noyau. Le colorant fluorescent est excité par la lumière de la première longueur d'onde et émet une lumière d'une troisième longueur d'onde ; et la deuxième longueur d'onde et la troisième longueur d'onde s'inscrivent dans la plage de lumière visible.
