The OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Shape Sensor (also known as a Fiber Optic Curvature or Bending Sensor) is a sophisticated sensing solution designed for real-time 3D shape reconstruction and spatial positioning. It is particularly effective in applications requiring high flexibility and small diameters, such as medical minimally invasive surgery instruments and aerospace structural health monitoring.

Technical Overview

This sensor typically utilizes multicore fibers or multiple FBG strings integrated into a specialized flexible structure to measure curvature, twist, and 3D deformation. By analyzing the wavelength shifts from different fiber cores or strings, the system can calculate the precise spatial coordinates and shape of the sensor body.

Key Specifications:

• Measurement Range: High sensitivity to bending and curvature.
• Physical Dimensions: Extremely slim profile (standard diameters range from 1.5mm to 6.0mm), with a minimum bending radius as small as 20cm.
• Integration: Can be customized with various outer protective layers depending on the flexibility requirements.
• Compatibility: Works seamlessly with high-speed OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Interrogators.
