Bidirectional Bend Sensor Employing a Microfiber-Assisted U-Shaped Fabry-Perot Cavity

A bidirectional bend sensor based on U-shaped Fabry-Perot interferometer (UFPI) is experimentally demonstrated. The UFPI is constructed by eccentrically splicing a section of microfiber between two cleaved standard single mode fiber end faces serving as mirrors. A preliminary theoretic analysis of b...
