ABSTRACT:
There is provided by this invention a fiber optic transducer for accelerometers and gyroscopes that utilize microbending of an optical fiber between two suspended points by vibrating the optical fiber with electro-static deflection to induce modulation of a light signal to sense acceleration, tension, etc. The amplitude modulation of the light signal induced by the bending lost in the vibrating fiber is demodulated with respect to reference signals to derive an output proportional to acceleration, tension, or other environmental factors.
