Abstract:
The authors use a fiber sensor integrated monitor (FSIM) as a fully functioning system to characterize the temporal response of a surface-relief fiber Bragg grating (SR-FBG) to temperature heating above 1000 degrees C. The SR-FBG is shown to have a rise time of about 77 ms for heating and a fall time of about 143 ms for cooling. The FSIM also provides full spectral scans at high speed that can be used to gain further insights into the temperature dynamics of a given system.
