High resolution temperature insensitive interrogation technique for FBG sensors

Abstract: Abstract-In this letter, we propose a high resolution temperature insensitive interrogation technique for FBG sensors where one FBG acts as an edge filter to interrogate a separate FBG sensor. A high resolution of better than 5 µε in strain measurement range from 0 to 1100 µε and the best resolution of better than 1 µε were verified by experiments. An error of only ±2.2 µε is achieved over a temperature range from 15 to 50 °C, indicating that this strain interrogation technique is temperature insensitive. Usin… Show more

“…When FBG is loaded under complex temperature field [3] [ 4] , gratings in different positions inside it will change in a varying manner, changing it into a chirped FBG (CFBG) [5] . Compared with the bandwidth of different pitchs, the gap between their reflective spectrums is smaller, so all spectrums will overlap with each other to form a whole broadening reflective spectrum [6][7] [8] .…”

“…We dropped the losses effect by fiber couplers. Therefore, the interferometric output signal in steady state is given by (3) Where (4) The amplitude depends on and the responsivity of the photodetector [7]. As a strain is applied the phase shifts change and this is clearly observable in the intensity detected.…”

“…Recently, we have proposed the use of a specially designed singlemode-multimode-single-mode (SMS) fiber structure [6] or an edge filter-based FBG interrogation system [7,8] to compensate temperature-induced errors for a FBG strain sensor. As a SMS fiber structure is much easier to fabricate than a FBG and is also sensitive to both strain and temperature, it will be more cost effective to use a SMS fiber structure to substitute for a FBG strain sensor for simultaneous measurements of strain and temperature.…”
