Optical fiber sensors are essential elements in advanced measuring devices and systems, playing a crucial role in enhancing the functionality of devices such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and strain and temperature sensors. This study aims to enhance the sector by conducting the development and execution of affordable sensors. The work focuses on the development, execution, and analysis of a microbend strain sensor utilizing single-mode optical fibers. The sensor employs an economical geared plate cell, demonstrating ingenuity in both its design and practical implementation. The study showcases the creation of three separate microbend cells, each having pitch dimensions of 3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm. The cells were intricately built to meet the precise demands of strain sensing employing single-mode fibers. The implementation required doing thorough testing on each cell to evaluate its effectiveness in detecting and quantifying the strain effect. This study adds to the progress of optical fiber sensor technology by using a low-cost geared plate cell. It also highlights the significance of affordability and practicality in sensor design and deployment.
