Soft polymer optical fiber (SPOF) has shown great potential in optical based wearable and implantable biosensors due to its excellent mechanical properties and optical guiding characteristics. However, the multimodality characteristics of SPOF limit their integration with traditional fiber optic sensors. This article introduces for the first time a flexible fiber optic vibration sensor based on laser interference technology, which can be applied to vibration measurement under high stretch conditions. This sensor utilizes elastic optical fibers made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as sensing elements, combined with phase generating carrier technology, to achieve vibration measurement at 50−260 Hz within the stretch range of 0−42%.
