Abstract: The present invention relates to optical fiber pressure sensors. In one embodiment, liquid pressure of an environment may be measured based on capillary action occurring within an optical fiber having one or more hollow columns within. In another embodiment, the change in environmental pressure may be measured based on light diffracted from an optical fiber having optical grating. In either embodiment, the pressure sensor is manufactured from a single optical fiber.
