Abstract
We present a new bend sensor which can measure the curvature using an etched fiber Bragg grating (FBG) embedded into a beam. The reflection power of the grating detected by an optical power meter varies linearly with the curvature of the beam. This sensor is independent of temperature. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
