Abstract
This paper presents and discusses the design of a novel fibre optic force sensor which will be embedded within the needle. This sensor will provide information on lateral and axial forces acting on the needle. The proposed design is amalgamation of two technologies and uses both Fabry Perot interferometer and fibre brags grating.
