Abstract
An air bag deployment trigger sensor for activating the deployment of an air bag in a vehicle as a result of an impact or collision. The air bag deployment trigger sensor utilizes a sacrificial waveguide which transmits optical signals from an emitter along the waveguide, and which are received by a detector. A sensor circuit attached to the detector senses the optical signal and decodes, measures, or compares the optical signal with a predetermined electrical signal produced by the detector. The sensor's detection of an alteration or interruption of the optical signal along the waveguide triggers air bag deployment.
