Bending Direction Detective Fiber Sensor for Dual-Parameter Sensing Based on an Asymmetrical Thin-Core Long-Period Fiber Grating

An asymmetrical thin-core long-period fiber grating (ATC-LPFG) cascaded with an inline Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for dual-parameter sensing has been demonstrated. In addition, bending direction is also determined at the same time. A section of thin-core fiber (TCF) is fusion spliced between...
