  • A plastic optical fiber microbend sensor used as a low-cost anti-squeeze detector
    Linec, Matjaž ; Đonlagić, Denis
    This paper presents a low-cost liber optic anti-squeeze sensor, suitable for use in high-volume cost driven applications. The sensor, used as a car window anti-sqneeze detector, com-plies with EC ... 2000/4IEC and V.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 118. The proposed design relies on microbend, loss induced in plastic optical liber (POF). The sensor assembly employs only low-cost optoelectronic components readily in use by antomotive and consumer markets. The lifetime tests have been performed on prototype sensors. The results show that the proposed design can easily reach and exceed 100000 operational cycles even though it relies on ftexible and all-polymer design. The proposed sensor design can be easily extended to other nonauto-motive applications, snch as protection devices in automatic door openers.
