A Sensing Element Based on a Bent and Elongated Grooved Polymer Optical Fiber
An experimental and numerical investigation is performed into the power loss induced in grooved polymer optical fibers (POFs) subjected to combined bending and elongation deformations. The power loss is examined as a function of both the groove depth and the bend radius. An elastic-plastic three-dim...
