Abstract

This study presents results from an experiment where Bragg gratings were used to measure the stress on a bare optical fiber placed inside a 3M VF-45 connector. The connector exerts lateral compressive and longitudinal tensile stresses on the fiber, both of which yield a shift in the Bragg wavelength. The axial stress is of interest for mechanical reliability predictions, so additional measurements were performed in order to separate the two effects. This involved simulating the use of an alternate material in the connector to induce differential longitudinal stress on the fiber grating.
