Locally pressed fibre Bragg grating pressure sensor. 18th International Conference on Optical Fibre Sensors, Cancun, Mexico, 23-27 October 2006http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/7438A spectral-hole created by locally pressing a fibre Bragg grating exhibited a wavelength-shift within the FBG bandwidth. A sensitivity of 74.3pm/(N/mm) was obtained for pressure applied along the slow axis of a high birefringence fibre.Conference paper
