Abstract

In article number 1703964, Guang-Zhong Yang and co-workers use light from a single mode optical fiber to interrogate the integrated sensor of a compliant microgripper. An applied force results in the spacing of the thin-layer features to change and, hence, vary the interference pattern. The spectrum of the light reflected back along the fiber can then be used to determine applied force.
