Hi guys,
I have a collection of piezos I just bought for my lab, and I'd like to know if its possible to use them to induce strain on fiber which is mounted on it. An FBG fiber (theoretically) have 0.78 x 10[SUP]-6[/SUP] microstrain[SUP]-1[/SUP] response, so I'm not sure if a piezo transducer would be able to deliver enough strain if I'm driving it with only up to 5V.
The big question is: what's the best way to mount the fiber itself other than just gluing in on the piezo itsef?
Thanks guys.
