Abstract

We show the sensing of load by means mechanically induced long-period fiber grating (MLPFG) made by applying pressure by means a screw to a pair of grooved plates over single-mode fiber. We used a torquemeter in order to obtain precision in the adjustment screw and thus establish an equilibrium pressure applied to a specific region of the optical fiber to form the long-period grating mechanically induced fiber. The increase the torque to screw, the resonance wavelength of MLPFG increases its depth over 16 dB. We use a detector to observe the changes amplitude according to the fiber pressure.
