Abstract A distributed optical fiber strain-displacement sensor is developed, which consists of an optical fiber gauge of strain-dis-placement and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The operational principle is the modulation of fiber loss in OTDR, i. e. thestrain and displacement in monitoring position are obtained from the bending loss of optical fiber bonded on the optical fiber gauge of strain-displacement. After examining the strain and displacement in the cantilever and the micro displacement rack respectively, the result indi-cates that the distributed optical fiber gauge of strain-displacement can monitor strains or displacements in different sensitive lengths. Thekey technique for measuring bi-directional strain-displacement is the pretreatment of bending of the freely suspended optical fibers, whichcan be identified with OTDR by inserting time delay optical fiber.
