Continuous liquid-level sensor based on a long-period grating and microwave photonics filtering techniques

A fiber optic liquid-level sensor based on a long period grating (LPG) is proposed and experimentally validated. The principle of operation is based on a technique used to analyze microwave photonics filters. A 4-cm-long LPG cascaded with a high-reflectivity fiber Bragg grating is employed to achiev...

description A fiber optic liquid-level sensor based on a long period grating (LPG) is proposed and experimentally validated.

A 4-cm-long LPG cascaded with a high-reflectivity fiber Bragg grating is employed to achieve a continuous liquid-level sensor. The measurements have been performed using a modulator and a photo-detector with a modest bandwidth of less than 500 MHz, showing a sensitivity of -12.71 dB/cm and a standard deviation of 0.52 dB.
