Abstract :
In paper the optical sensor allowing measuring both a direction and bend and stress values in building structures is described. The sensitive element of the sensor is the microstructured fiber with three cores. Distribution of mode fields in fiber cores depending on fiber structure and bend value is analyzed. The optimization of the sensitive element parameters depending on the purpose of use is proposed.
