Abstract
A micro piezo-optic composite transducer comprises: dielectric material; electrodes situated over opposing surfaces of the dielectric material; an optical fiber embedded in the dielectric material, the optical fiber configured to have a wavelength response as a function of material strain; and piezoelectric fibers embedded in the dielectric material and situated on opposing sides of the optical fiber.
