Demodulation of fiber bragg grating sensors based on dynamic tuning of a multimode laser diode

Dither demodulation of fiber Bragg grating sensors illuminated with multimode light from laser diodes is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Quasi-static temperature and strain sensitivities of 0.09 degrees C/ radical Hz and 0.6 microepsilon/ radical Hz are obtained. We show that it is possible to measure small ac signals that lie outside the feedback loop bandwidth by using a synchronous detection referenced to twice the dither frequency. In this situation, dynamic strain sensitivity of 3.3 n(epsilon)/ radical Hz is achieved.

Application of Bragg grating sensors in the characterization of scaled marine vehicle models

Experiments using two different fiber-optic Bragg grating strain sensor systems to measure dynamic loads, slamming forces, and bending moments on a scaled catamaran model are reported. The system designed to measure slamming forces is based on dynamic locking of the laser diode wavelength to the peak wavelength of a Bragg grating mounted in a force cell. The sensor system has a dynamic range of 27 dB (1-550 N) and a bandwidth in excess of 1 kHz. For the measurement of bending moments, a time-domain multiplexing system, which used a unique pulsed rf modulation technique, of two Bragg grating sensors mounted on a steel beam was designed. The dynamic range of this system was also 27 dB [17 Nm (Newton meter) with a 0.03-Nm resolution]. The bandwidth was limited to approximately 50 Hz.

Adaptive demodulation of dynamic signals from fiber Bragg gratings using two-wave mixing technology

A two-wave mixing (TWM) interferometer using photorefractive (PRC) InP:Fe crystal is configured to demodulate the spectral shift of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor. The FBG is illuminated with a broadband source, and any strain in the FBG is encoded as a wavelength shift of the light reflected by the FBG. The wavelength shift is converted into phase shift by means of an unbalanced TWM interferometer. TWM wavelength demodulation is attractive for monitoring dynamic strains because it is adaptive and multiplexable. Adaptivity implies that it can selectively monitor dynamic strains without active compensation of large quasi-static strains and large temperature drifts that otherwise would cause system to drift. Multiplexability implies that several FBG sensors can be simultaneously demodulated using a single demodulator. TWM wavelength demodulation is therefore a cost-effective method of demodulating several spectrally encoded FBG sensors.     

Simultaneous measurement of stress and temperature with a fiber Bragg grating based on a loop thin-wall section beam

We designed and demonstrated what we believe to be a novel sensor for simultaneous measurement of stress and temperature. A fiber Bragg grating is flatly adhered to the surface of a loop thin-wall section beam. The theoretical analyses and the experimental results show that both the central wavelength shift and the chirped bandwidth of the grating reflection spectrum have a linear relationship with the stress and the temperature, respectively, and the slopes of them are different. Therefore, the temperature and stress can be discriminated by interrogating the chirped fiber grating. Moreover, we also investigated the strain of the loop thin-wall section beam, and the results show that the strain is cosine proportional to the double positional angle.     

Distributed measurement of static strain in an optical fiber with multiple bragg gratings at nominally equal wavelengths

The Fourier transform relationship between the reflected light froma Bragg grating and the complex spatial modulation of the Bragg grating is used to produce a distributed strain sensing system. A tunable external cavity diode laser along with a reference reflector in anoptical fiber are used to produce a measurement of the phase and amplitude of the reflected light from the modulated Bragg grating as a function of wavelength. The system is demonstrated with 22 Bragg gratings in a single fiber on a cantilever beam and compared with foil strain gauge readings.
