3D Shape Sensing Approach

Schematic of the femtosecond laser process for a 3D sensor fiber with cladding

waveguides and fiber Bragg gratings within them

Photograph of a 3D fiber at a bending radius of only 2.5 cm (left) with corresponding shape reconstruction (right).

Direct femtosecond laser based processing of Bragg gratings into the core and the cladding of an optical fiber makes it possible using just a single standard one core optical fiber for 3D shape monitoring with the advantage of no need for additional optics, the high mechanical flexibility of a single 125 or 80 µm fiber and the use of commercially available standard connectors and components that are well known from telecommunications.
