摘要：

This Letter reports a polymer optical fiber (POF) based large strain sensor based on the multimode interference (MMI) theory for the application of structural health monitoring. A section of POFs is sandwiched between two silica single mode fibers to construct a single-mode-multimode-single-mode structure that produces a MMI spectrum. The strain sensing mechanism of the device was investigated and experimentally verified. A large dynamic range of 2 x 10(4) mu epsilon (2%) and a detection limit of 33 mu epsilon have been demonstrated. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
