Abstract
A photosensitive force sensor is provided. An example photosensitive force sensor comprises a force sensing device configured to be disposed on a surface of a substrate; a housing configured to be disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate; and an actuator configured to be disposed partially within the housing and partially within the aperture defined by the housing. The housing is configured to enclose the force sensing device. The aperture is configured to provide a coupling interface. The actuator is in mechanical contact with the force sensing device. The actuator is a rigid body that is configured to provide a light path from a light source external to/outside of the housing to the force sensing device.
