  • Patent number: 10551255
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical sensor device comprising a reference body and at least one sensing transducer. The sensing transducer is arranged for receiving an input action, and is movably arranged relative to the reference body for moving relative to the reference body in response to the input action. The device further comprises an optical fiber and one or more transmission arms including a first transmission arm. The optical fiber comprises an intrinsic fiber optic sensor. The optical fiber is connected with a first connecting part thereof to the first transmission arm and with a second connecting part thereof to an element exterior to said first transmission arm. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are on either side of the intrinsic fiber optic sensor. For receiving the input action, a base of the first transmission arm is connected at a first part thereof with the reference body and with a second part thereof with the sensing transducer.
