Abstract
In this paper we investigate the use of photopolymer material as the sensor medium. This research will focus on the creation of self-written waveguides within the photopolymer and the interaction with the environment. This SWW can be used to measure direction of propagation and angle of incidence upon the polymer material. Under environmental force new SWWs can be measured and recorded within the PVA/AA on a 3D plane. These newly created SWWs, from numerical modelling, can represent the interaction with the surrounding environment. This can be used to measure force and direction of movement.
