摘要

In this letter, a rotation sensor based on a chirped fiber grating for detecting the rotary position with a full 360 degrees shaft is proposed. A full circle reading 9.9 nm of wavelength shift for detecting the shaft%26apos;s rotation angle is experimentally demonstrated. The sensor can be used to measure a rotor%26apos;s rotation angle in random directions while continuously rotating in the same direction. The operation mechanism is mainly based on the shift of the reflective wavelength peak of a chirped fiber grating caused by a rolled ball type magnet in accordance with the shaft%26apos;s rotated angle.
