Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required.

Fiber-optic bending sensors have attracted growing attention due to the advantages of compact size, high sensitivity, fast response, and immunity to external electromagnetic fields, which have been exploited in the fields of composite material structures, structural monitoring . Highly sensitive vector bending sensor based on chirped core fiber structure It is meaningful to develop a high-performance optic bending sensor characterized by effective direction judgment, compact length, and high sensitivity. This bend sensor utilizes a Bowden-cable, which consists of a coil sheath and an inner wire.
