Optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based strain sensor embedded in different 3D-printed materials: A comparison of performance

A compact fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based strain sensor has been developed by embedding an FBG inside a 3D-printed structure, allowing the comparison of FBG responses across different filaments such as polylactic acid (PLA), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadie...
