Analysis of Fibre Cross-Coupling Mechanisms in Fibre-Optical Force Sensors

The force-enhanced light coupling between two optical fibres is investigated for the application in a pressure or force sensor, which can be arranged into arrays and integrated into textile surfaces. The optical coupling mechanisms such as the influence of the applied force, the losses at the coupli...
