  • NOVEL FIBER-OPTIC PRESSURE SENSOR CONFIGURATIONS
    Publication number: 20170176270
    Abstract: A miniature pressure sensor has been designed based on an optical fiber with fiber bragg grating (FBG). The fiber can be attached to a portion of tubing by co-extrusion, braiding, gluing, or other equivalent methods, where the portion of tubing is flexible and a first side is exposed to the fluid/gas being measured (Pm) and a second side is exposed to a reference pressure (Pref).

  • FIBER BRAGG GRATING-BASED PRESSURE TRANSDUCER CATHETER
    Publication number: 20160331926
    Abstract: A fiber optic pressure-based transducer catheter is capable of measuring pressure and temperature in the environment in which it is deployed. The pressure sensor embedded in the distal end of the catheter can be realized via optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology.
