The present invention relates to a sensor for non-invasive optoacoustic measurements of biomechanical and/or morphological features of skin and/or other tissue.

Sensor for tissue measurements

A sensor () comprises a waveguide () having a longitudinal axis and an end face (), the waveguide () comprising a Bragg grating (). The sensor comprises at least one reflector () on the end face () of the waveguide (). An optical resonator () is formed by the Bragg grating (), the at least one reflector (), and an inner portion of the optical resonator () between the Bragg grating () and the at least one reflector (). The inner portion of the optical resonator () extends within a portion of the waveguide (). The sensor () comprises a detector () configured to detect at least one spectral characteristic of the optical resonator () or a change of at least one spectral characteristic of the optical resonator ().
