Abstract
An integration of fiber sensor technology and photofluidic interfaces is proposed. A practical implementation of such an integrated system is described in which sensing is performed by employing an acceptable fiber optic method while the logic and feedback is performed using existing fluidic methods. The proposed closed-loop system needs no electrical conversion or feedback information. The capability of the integrated system to accurately track the vibrational behavior of a beam is demonstrated.
