A new design of optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-based sensor for the measurement of torsion (twist) has been developed, which, while offering a high level of accuracy, can be fabricated inexpensively using 3D printing technology. In this sensor design, an FBG is embedded inside the thermoplastic p...
