An intensity-modulated optical fiber accelerometer is proposed and experimentally demonstrated by using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) incorporating a biconical fiber taper. Acceleration-induced microbending of the fiber taper region introduces various attenuation to the light, so that acceleration can...
