Optical sensing device containing fiber bragg gratings
TL;DR: In this article, a new optical sensing device containing fiber Bragg gratings (26), a scanning bandpass filter (28), an interferometer (40), and multiple photodetectors (44, 46, 48).
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive, light intensity-independent interferometric method for fibre Bragg grating interrogation
TL;DR: In this article, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer was used for sensing the strain-induced wavelength shift of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) using a 3/spl times/3 coupler.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber Bragg grating interrogation and multiplexing with a 3/spl times/3 coupler and a scanning filter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new technique for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor interrogation and multiplexing, which combines a scanning bandpass filter used to multiplex by wavelength multiple gratings in a single fiber, and an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometer made with a 3/spl times/3 coupler to detect straininduced wavelength shifts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral broadening due to non-uniform strain fields in fibre Bragg grating based transducers
Chia-Chen Chang,Sandeep T. Vohra +1 more
TL;DR: An experimental investigation of strain gradient induced spectral broadening in fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based transducers is carried out in this paper, where closed form analytical results describing measurand induced strain gradients in circular geometry transducers are derived.
ReportDOI
The Use of Fiber Bragg Grating Strain Sensors in Laboratory and Field Load Tests: Comparison to Conventional Resistive Strain Gages
TL;DR: In this paper, two tests, one involving a bent beam in the laboratory and one involving tensile testing of a ship hull substructure at Naval Surface Warfare Center/Carderock, were performed where strain readings were compared between conventional resistive strain gages (RSGs) and optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs).
