Abstract

In the proposed work we would like to present astainless steel (SS)based pressure sensor using a split boss diaphragm mounted with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)at its centre. This proposed stress transfer mechanism provides maximumstress to the fiber, resulting in improved sensitivity.The sensor is fabricated and tested for its performancefor both staticas well asdynamic pressureand is also benchmarkedwith a flat diaphragm pressure sensor.The developed sensor exhibits an enhanced pressure sensitivity of 0.742 nm/bar, which is ~10 times higher than the flat diaphragm based sensor. The sensor'sdynamic sensing characteristics of peak output,risetime were4.94 nm and1.2 ms respectively..
