How to Designing a fiber and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor in SolidWorks ?
requires creating a 3D model that represents the geometry of the optical fiber and incorporates the grating structure
1 Answer
To design the fiber and FBG sensor like in the image:
Create the Fiber: Draw a small circle for the core, a larger circle for the cladding, and extrude both to the desired length.
Add the FBG: Use the Split Line or Linear Pattern tool to create periodic bands on the fiber's surface for the grating.
Add Coating: Create a larger concentric circle around the cladding and extrude it for the protective layer.
Color & Materials: Apply colors (orange for core, light blue for cladding, and blue for the FBG) and assign materials like silica and polymer.
This will replicate the model shown in the image!
