A method of making a fiber optic accelerometer includes (a) drawing an
optical fiber through a resin; (b) winding the resin coated fiber onto a
disc mounted on an assembly having a central shaft; and (c) curing the
resin-coated fiber. The optical fiber may be drawn through a resin by
providing a container filled with a resin having an orifice therethrough
and drawing the fiber through the orifice. The resin may be cured such
that the fiber is bonded to the disc by curing the resin to the fiber and
the disc at the same time.
