Abstract
We report the development and demonstration of a fiber optic accelerometer. The principle of operation is based in the use of chirped Bragg gratings w here the chirp width varies as the grating is physically deformed. The theo ry of operation is presented and experimentally compared with a conventiona l accelerometer's measurements for a vibrating beam. (C) 2000 Society of Ph oto-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
