High-Sensitivity Fiber-Optic Tactile Force Sensor Based on Tapered Fiber and Optical Vernier Effect
With the rapid development of smart healthcare, humanoid robotics, and virtual and augmented reality technologies, optic fiber force sensors attract increasing attention due to their advantages of high sensitivity, high precision, rapid response, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. To address the environmental disturbance susceptibility of traditional optical fiber force sensors, we propose a cascaded sensitivity enhancement scheme based on the vernier effect using tapered optical fibers. A TOF sensor with a 65 mm taper length is fabricated, achieving a sensitivity of
