description

Two prototype models of pressure sensors using side-scattering optic fiber as the sensitive element have been designed and experimentally assessed. The study showed that the use of 600-micron silica core side-scattering fiber resulted in 5 to 6 times higher sensitivity compared to the oridinary PCS fibers.
