Description:
An optical displacement sensor is described in which only a pair of large-diameter fibers is used rather than a branched bundle of many small-diameter fibers. The basic idea of the two-fiber sensor is that the axes of the fibers are at an angle to one another at the sensor face, rather than parallel as is the case for the many-fiber configuration. The sensitivity of this two-fiber sensor is approximately the same as the most sensitive configuration of the many-fiber sensor.-
