A clamping device () for a light guide () is provided. The clamping device () includes a carrier structure having a first securing element () for securing the light guide () in a first position (), and a second securing element () at a distance from the first securing element () for securing the light guide () in a second position (), wherein the first and second positions () have a first distance () in a longitudinal extension of the light guide (). Further, an intermediate carrier () having a first surface () on which the first and second securing elements () are attached in respective securing positions (), and an opposing second surface (), which can be applied to a measurement object, is provided. Hereby, a second distance () of the securing positions () of the securing elements () on the intermediate carrier () is greater than the first distance () in a longitudinal direction of the light guide ().

Light guide clamping device, fiber optic sensor and production method

A sensor patch () is provided that includes a light guide () having a sensor element (). Further, the sensor patch () includes a carrier structure having a first fastening element () for fastening the light guide () at a first position (), and a second fastening element () that is spaced apart from the first fastening element () for fastening the light guide at a second position (), wherein the sensor element () is arranged between the first position () and the second position (), an intermediate carrier () having a first surface (), on which the first and second fastening elements () are mounted at respective fastening positions (), and an opposing second surface () that can be mounted on a measurement object, and a covering element () arranged on the intermediate carrier () and connected thereto. The covering element () has together with the intermediate carrier () a cross-sectional dimension, which is oriented approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal extension of the light guide (), in such a way that the light guide () extends in the neutral fiber () of the sensor patch ().
