Abstract
A method for configuring a sensor of a non-interference stress management system is disclosed. The method may include determining a focal distance between a light transmitting fiber and a transmit lens, the focal distance configured to focus light from the transmit fiber to form a focused transmit beam, the transmit beam targeting a reflective structure. The method may further include positioning the light transmitting fiber and the transmit lens, wherein the light transmitting fiber and the transmit lens are separated by a transmit gap based on the focal distance and positioning a light receptive fiber and a receive lens to receive a focused reflected beam from the reflective structure, wherein the light receptive fiber is separated from the receive lens by a receive gap based on the focal distance.
