20090201503 | Torsion Sensor - A torsion sensor using an optical waveguide in optical communication with a diffraction grating, preferably a tilted grating, and most preferably a tilted Bragg grating, which provides the optical waveguide and grating with a torsion-dependent collective optical transmission spectrum. Changes in the collective optical transmission spectrum of the waveguide and grating, induced by changes in the amount of torsion applied to the waveguide, may be detected by detecting a corresponding change in the intensity of optical radiation transmitted through the grating from a controlled optical source. The degree of change in the collective optical transmission spectrum is dependent upon the degree of torsion (twist) applied to the optical waveguide. Measuring the magnitude and/or sense (i.e. increase/decrease) in the intensity of optical radiation transmitted through the grating from an optical source enables torsion to be sensed. | 08-13-2009 |
