We propose and demonstrate a novel flexible and elastic vibration-displacement fiber sensor with a doped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro-fiber based on model interference. High resolution three-dimensional displacement measurement is achieved through monitoring the output pattern and variation of power. The sensor with a length of about 200 μm reveals frequency range from 50 Hz to 14 kHz, covering all the human voice frequency, with greatly enhanced high signal to noise ratio (SNR) reaching up to 66 dB. This work suggests a simple structure, small size and low cost fiber-based convenient way to achieve a multifunctional sensing applications including human motion detection.

A flexible arc-shaped micro-Fiber Bragg Grating (mFBG) array three-dimensional tactile sensor for fingertip signal detection and human pulse monitoring is presented. It is based on a three mFBGs array which is embedded in an arc-shaped poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer, which can effectively discriminate the normal force, left force, and right force by monitoring the reflected intensity variation of the three mFBGs. Different from the traditional FBG sensors, this sensor measures force by detecting changes in light intensity, effectively avoiding the wavelength cross-sensitivity impact of temperature variations on the sensor performance.
