Paper Abstract
In this paper we report on the development of a complete integrated optical fiber assembly suitable for shape sensing.
Our shape sensor module consists of a length (>1m) of twisted multicore optical fiber with fiber Bragg gratings inscribed
along its length. Our fiber has a compact 180 micron coated diameter, a twist of 50 turns per meter and grating
reflectivities greater than 0.01% per cm of array, suitable for high efficiency scatter measurements over many meters of
fiber. Single core to multicore fanouts and low reflectivity fiber termination are used to terminate the end of the array.
