OPTICAL FIBER SENSOR, PRESSURE SENSOR, END EFFECTOR AND STRESS DETECTING METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

In an FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor, a stress direction converter includes a flat portion to which stresses are applied from the exterior, and stress transmitting sections that are bridged from the flat portion to an optical fiber cable. An inclined portion of the optical fiber cable, through which reflected light reflected by gratings is transmitted, is disposed along an inclined section that makes up one of the stress transmitting sections.
