Abstract

See full text

A fiber optical fiber fluid flow measuring device is provided for in vivo determination of blood flow in arteries. The device includes a fiber optical fluid differential pressure measuring device having at least one optical fiber sensor which optical fiber sensor is positioned in the blood flow passage in a restricted flow area. The fiber optical differential pressure fluid sensor is connected to a divided interferometer associated with an opto-electronic demodulator which has an output signal representing the differential pressure in the sensed area. The device also has utility in industrial applications.
