Summary
This study introduces an encoding strategy for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, enabling unique identification even with overlapping spectra. This method significantly enhances the capacity of FBG sensing systems.
Area of Science:
- Photonics
- Optical Sensing
- Materials Science
Background:
- Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are widely used for various measurements.
- Current multiplexing techniques for FBG sensors face limitations in system capacity.
- Spectral overlapping of FBG sensors is a significant challenge in dense sensor networks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a novel encoding strategy for FBG sensors to increase multiplexing capacity.
- To demonstrate a method for uniquely identifying multiple FBG sensors under spectral overlapping.
- To enhance the number of sensors handleable within a single optical channel.
Main Methods:
- An encoding strategy using two binary codewords for amplitude and phase patterns was designed.
- Specialized FBG sensors were manufactured based on the developed encoding strategy.
- A theoretical framework and experimental setup for interrogating the central wavelengths of encoded FBG sensors were developed.
Main Results:
- A proof-of-concept with three uniquely identifiable FBG sensors under spectral overlapping was successfully demonstrated.
- The proposed method achieved a three-time improvement in system capacity, effectively increasing the number of multiplexed sensors.
- The assessment of overlapping errors indicated a high precision of approximately 3 pm, suitable for practical applications.
Conclusions:
- The developed encoding strategy significantly enhances the multiplexing capability of FBG sensors.
- The unique amplitude and phase patterns allow for reliable identification of sensors even with overlapping spectra.
- This approach offers a practical and effective solution for increasing sensor density in FBG-based measurement systems.
