Abstract

This work proposes and demonstrates a biaxial sensing inclinometer based on two FBGs surfacemounted on two separate thin cantilevers with a diminishable cross-axis sensitivity. The measured sensitivities for the inclination angles in the x-z plane and y-z plane are 34.87 and 33.49 pm/deg, respectively. To enhance the protection of the delicate FBGs and minimize axis-to-axis cross-sensitivity, the carbon-steel cantilevers are strategically arranged in a perpendicular configuration, resulting in an impressively low cross-sensitivity value of just 0.9275%. This alignment not only offers mechanical shielding but also ensures optimal performance and accuracy for the FBGs.
