摘要：

We present the implementation of optical load sensors utilizing mechanically induced reversible sampled fiber Bragg gratings (SFBGs). The load is measured by the reflectivity of the first-order Fourier component of the induced SFBGs. The theoretical and experimental characterization indicates that such SFBGs can be tailored to realize load sensors with high sensitivity of near-linear response and free of influence from environmental and system noises.
