An optical fiber transducer for single myofibril force measurement

A force transducer has been developed for use in force measurement of skeletal muscle myofibrils. The transducer is suitable for measurement of passive and contractile forces in a range up to 200 μg, with 1 μg resolution. It is based upon the operating principle of the deflection of an optical fiber of known compliance, sensed by the differential illumination of two phototransistors. Attractive features include ease of operation and specimen mounting, high bandwidth, adaptability for different force ranges, and simple and inexpensive construction     

Miniaturized pressure transducer intended for intravascular use

A pressure transducer utilizing an electrooptical method is described. As the transducer is primarily intended for intravascular use, it has been given the form of a catheter with the pressure-sensing part at the one end and the necessary bulky components at the other end. A light guide of glass fibers inside the catheter transports light from a light source to the measuring tip. Here the pressure variations affect a movable membrane which reflects a variable amount of light into another light guide leading to a photodetector. The variations in the signal from the detector are thus proportional to the applied pressure. The main part of the paper is concerned with a theoretical investigation of the principle for transducers of this type. This analysis gives relationships between the geometry of the measuring tip, the number of glass fibers, and their distribution, material constants, and signal parameters. Using these relations, it is possible to arrive at the fundamental limitations of the method, particularly in regard to the miniaturization. Furthermore, some temperature effects which are generally neglected, are analyzed.

Characteristics of magneto-optic fiber Bragg gratings for use in optical signal processing

The characteristics of photonic bandgaps and the transmission/reflection of guided optical waves in the magneto-optic fiber Bragg grating (MFBG) are theoretically investigated for the first time. The polarization-mode conversion resulting from the Faraday effect may change the width of the pure bandgap, or even lead to a couple of photonic semitransparent frequency band (STB) for sufficiently large magneto-optical-to-grating coupling ratio (MGR). Within the STBs, the transmittivity and reflectivity are equal and then the MFBG can serve as a 3 dB light beam splitter. Based on the sensitivity of MFBG spectral lines to the magneto-optic (MO) coupling coefficient, a novel high-resolution magnetic field sensor capable of up to 0.01 nm/(kA/m) is predicted. According to the dependency of nonlinear transmission or reflection on the MO effects, a new class of MFBG-based nonlinear optical switches under an appropriate MO bias may also be achieved with applications to flexible and controllable optical signal processing.     

Polarization-modulation diagnostics of thermal stresses in an integrated pressure transducer

A semiconductor pressure transducer consisting of a sensing resistor implanted into a silicon membrane as an elastic mechanical element is studied by the modulation polarimetry technique. Internal mechanical stresses are detected. The coordinate distributions of uniaxial stresses are measured in two cases: stresses remaining from local crystal doping inhomogeneities and stresses caused by heating by flowing current. The coordinate distribution of the temperature caused by the heat flux released by the resistor current is determined by double integration of the stress function, taking into account corresponding boundary conditions.

Structural analysis of jacketed optical fiber under lateral pressure

A theory is presented on the deformation of jacketed fibers due to lateral pressure, and its influence on microbending losses is assessed. This analysis, which is based on the theory Of elasticity, helps to clarify how lateral pressure and the structure of the fiber jacket conspire to cause excess fiber losses. Periodic pressure distributions with certain unfavorable period lengths are shown to lead to a pronounced enhancement of excess losses.     

Diaphragm design guidelines and an optical pressure sensor based on MEMS technique

The design guidelines for micro diaphragm-type pressure sensors have been established by characterization of the relationships among diaphragm thickness, side length, sensitivity, and resonant frequency. According to the study, the thickness need to be thin and the side length need to be small in order to get the sensitive diaphragm with high resonant frequency. A Fabry-Perot based pressure sensor has been designed based on the guidelines, fabricated and characterized. In principle, the sensor is made according to Fabry-Perot interference, which is placed on a micro-machined rectangular silicon membrane as a pressure-sensitive element. A fiber-optic readout scheme has been used to monitor sensor membrane deflection. The experimental results show that the sensor has a very high sensitivity of 28.6 mV/Pa, resolution of 2.8 Pa, and up to 91 kHz dynamic response.

Intramodal part of the transfer function for an optical fiber

Intramodal contributions in measurements of optical-fiber bandwidth are investigated theoretically and experimentally in the quasimonochromatic case. A relation is established between the intramodal transfer function and a possibly non-Gaussian source spectrum, which may also vary with modulation frequency. By considering the latter variation in particular, we are able to predict the intramodal length dependence and show how it may deviate from that of a conventional approach.
