3D Fiber Optic Sensing System
Direct femtosecond laser based processing of Bragg gratings into the core and the cladding of an optical fiber makes it possible using just a single standard one core optical fiber for 3D shape monitoring with the advantage of no need for additional optics, the high. Direct femtosecond laser based processing of Bragg gratings into the core and the cladding of an optical fiber makes it possible using just a single standard one core optical fiber for 3D shape monitoring with the advantage of no need for additional optics, the high. Fiber optic shape sensing has an outstanding capability to sense curvature and shape in 2D and 3D. The technology will enable cutting-edge applications in the fields of robotic and standard minimally invasive surgery – such as real-time position tracking, instrument and catheter navigation, force. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors inscribed in multi-core optical fibers have been democratized over the years and nowadays offer a compact and robust platform for shape reconstruction. In this work, we propose a novel, computationally efficient method for determining the 3D tip position of a bent.
