A design for an all-optical temperature insensitive fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based tilt sensor is reported. The sensor is capable of measuring the magnitude as well as the direction of inclination from the horizontal with a complete reversible response over the designed dynamic range of AE45°. The most important feature of the reported sensor is its inherent enhanced tuning capability for its sensitivity. An excellent sensitivity of the order of ∼0:0626 nm=°that can further be tuned is observed for the sensor. Experimental results show that a tilt angle resolution better than 0:008°with a tilt accuracy of ∼ AE 0:36°w as achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
