The invention discloses a transverse multi-end-face
coupling-based
optical fiber displacement sensor capable of being used for
respiratory monitoring and a use method. The transverse multi-end-face
coupling-based
optical fiber displacement sensor comprises an incident
optical fiber, N emergent optical fibers (N is greater than or equal to 2), a
coupling part, a rectangular box and a receiving module, the input end of the incident optical
fiber is connected with the
light source, and the output end is fixed in the through hole of the incident optical
fiber module; an emergent optical
fiber input end is fixed in an emergent optical fiber module through hole, the end face is flush with one surface of the module, an output end is fixed on a receiving module, and an
image sensor is mounted on the opposite side; when the
relative displacement does not occur, the output end face of the incident optical fiber is axially collimated with the input end face of one of the emergent optical fibers; when
relative displacement occurs, the center of the output end face of the incident optical fiber moves along the geometric center connecting line of the input end faces of the N emergent optical fibers, so that the emergent optical fibers which have overlapping intervals with the center of the output end face of the incident optical fiber output light are subjected to
image acquisition and
processing by the
image sensor to obtain displacement information. According to the invention, high-precision and high-sensitivity real-time monitoring of displacement and
respiration can be realized.
