HOME / Making a displacement sensor using optical fiber - Activa Netcom & Energy Systems
Using a pigtailed laser diode and a photodiode as detector, the displacement of a knife blade across the output from the fiber varies the intensity of the laser transmitted to the photo detector.
Displacement measurements are of significant importance in a variety of critical scientific and engineering fields, such as gravitational wave detection, geophysical research, and
