Abstract:	A novel technique of using a 1 × N star fiber optic coupler as a distributed strain sensor in a white-light interferometer to measure the distribution of strain is presented. The measuring principle and 1 × 4 star coupler with four fiber optic strain sensors are demonstrated. The experiment is performed with four sensors attached to a combination plastic specimen.
Keywords:	Calculations Fiber optic sensors Intelligent materials Interferometers Light reflection Strain gages Strain measurement
