The Photonic Crystal Fiber(PCF)is pressuresensitive.In this paper
the relationship between the strain and stress in PCF is deduced by elasto-optical theory and the quantitative fluctuations of its refractive index distribution under pressure obtained.The schematic design of a microbend pressure PCF sensor is presented and the phase fluctuation of the optical pulses transported in PCF under pressure and the detecting principle for such a sensor are theoretically analyzed.
