Abstract
Many sensor applications involving optical fiber have limited room for packaging the fiber. However, due to the statistical nature of fiber strength and the susceptibility of glass optical fiber to fatigue, it is advantageous to keep tensile- and bending-induced stresses as small as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to have a package design methodology that accounts for the mechanical reliability of optical fiber.
