摘要
An optical fiber pressure sensor has been developed for the measurement in human body.The sensing element is possessed of a membrane structure,which is fabricated by micromachining.The fabrication process includes anisotropic wet etching on the silicon wafer.For the transmitting source and signal light,a multimode optical fiber 50/125 μm (core/clad)in diameter was used.The intensity of the light reflected back into the fiber varies with the membrane deflection,which is s function of pressure.The deflection of the membrane by applied pressure can be mathematically described.
