A Noncontact Force Sensor Based on a Fiber Bragg Grating and Its Application for Corrosion Measurement

A simple noncontact force sensor based on an optical fiber Bragg grating attached to a small magnet has been proposed and built. The sensor measures the force between the magnet and any ferromagnetic material placed within a few millimeters of the sensor. Maintaining the sensor at a constant standof...
