A flexible microbend device for attachment to an optical fiber is provided. The device comprises an upper bending element grid having at least one flexible element and a lower bending element grid having at least one flexible element. The upper bending element grid alternately engages the lower bending element grid. The flexible microbend device is attached to an optical fiber to form a sensor. The sensor may be either embedded in a host material or attached to a structure to detect various stresses or strains.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de microcoude souple destiné à être fixé à une fibre optique. Ce dispositif comprend une grille d'élément de coude supérieure qui possède au moins un élément souple et une grille d'élément de coude inférieure qui possède au moins un élément souple. La grille d'élément de coude supérieure s'emboîte en alternance dans la grille d'élément de coude inférieure. Ce dispositif de microcoude souple est fixé à une fibre optique de façon à former un capteur. Ce capteur peut être soit intégré dans un matériau hôte, soit fixé à une structure de façon à détecter diverses tensions ou diverses contraintes.
