AI Article Synopsis
- A feasibility study and prototype for an all-plastic fiber-based pressure sensor are introduced, using long period gratings made in PMMA microstructured fibers via a CO laser.
- The sensor is designed to be sensitive to pressure levels up to 150 mbars and includes a pod-like transducer that converts pressure into strain.
- The research highlights potential future applications for this sensor, particularly in endoscopic pressure measuring devices.
Article Abstract
We present a feasibility study and a prototype of an all-plastic fiber-based pressure sensor. The sensor is based on long period gratings inscribed for the first time to the best of our knowledge by a CO laser in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microstructured fibers and coupled to a pod-like transducer that converts pressure to strain. The sensor prototype was characterized for pressures up to 150 mbars, and various parameters related to its construction were also characterized in order to enhance sensitivity. We consider this sensor in the context of future applications in endoscopic pressure sensors.
