Abstract
An optical fiber strain sensor, a method of fabricating the same, and a method of sensing strain. The method of strain sensing comprises providing an optical fiber having a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) formed therein; subjecting the optical fiber to a strain inducing force such that a grating period in a first portion of the FBG compresses and a grating period in a second portion of the FBG extends; and optically interrogating the FBG to determine a measure of a change in bandwidth of the FBG as a result of the compression and extension of the grating periods in the first and second portion respectively; whereby the measure of the change in the bandwidth is representative of the strain induced.
