Abstract
An optical pressure transducer includes a body for supporting therein both an input optical fiber and an output optical fiber. A light source generates input light to the input optical fiber. A force responsive diaphragm is secured to the body and deflects in response to sensed pressure. A fixed reflector and a moveable reflector, which is attached to and moves with the diaphragm, are disposed in the optical path between the input and output optical fibers and reflect at least a portion of the input light from the input optical fiber to the output optical fiber. The amount of light reflected depends upon the deflection of the diaphragm. A system for monitoring and controlling the light source, including an optical detector in a feedback arrangement, is provided such that the amount of light generated by the light source remains constant and maximized.
