What are the advantages of 80μm or even 50μm cladding fibers in miniature sensors?
The primary advantage of using 80μm or even 50μm cladding fibers in miniature sensors lies in their significantly reduced size and increased flexibility. These characteristics are crucial for applications where space is extremely limited or where the sensor needs to be integrated into very small components or structures without affecting their mechanical properties.
Specifically, thinner fibers offer:
- Miniaturization: They enable the creation of much smaller sensors and sensor arrays, which is essential for applications requiring minimal invasiveness or integration into compact devices.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Their smaller diameter makes them more pliable and allows for tighter bending radii without significant signal loss or increased stress on the fiber, facilitating installation in complex geometries.
- Reduced Weight and Volume: For applications sensitive to weight or volume, such as medical instruments or aerospace components, these fibers contribute to an overall lighter and more compact design.
OFSCN Thin-Diameter Fiber Bragg Gratings / Fiber Bragg Grating Strings (Bare) leverage these advantages, offering precise sensing capabilities in a compact form factor.
