Just analyzing the intensity of the reflection spectrum of a sampled fiber Bragg grating, its inner deformation profile has been obtained with a spatial resolution of Formula L<1mm. The proposed method employs a synthesis algorithm to retrieve the longitudinal axis strain profile of a sampled fiber Bragg grating glued to an asymmetric plate. The achieved experimental results have been compared to the mechanical simulations of the employed plate, exhibiting a good response even without compensating the residual stress provoked during the installation process.}, organization = {This study was supported by the project TEC2010-20224-C02-02 and grant AP2009-1403.}, publisher = {SAGE Publications Ltd}, publisher = {Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design, 2014, 49(6), 404-409}, title = {Optical strain gauge with high spatial resolution}, author = {Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and Cobo García, Adolfo and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
