Force Sensors Using the Skew-Ray-Probed Plastic Optical Fibers

Simple optical force sensors have many uses but suffer from relatively low sensitivity or low fabrication-tolerance. We have demonstrated that pure skew rays can enhance the sensitivity of a bend-loss-based force sensor over the mixture of rays created from a normal incidence by a factor of 3.8 to e...
