Simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature using a single emission line

In this work, we present and demonstrate a novel sensor system for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature through a unique combination of a long period grating (LPG) and a fiber laser based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). In order to achieve this, a new erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) st...

Descrição
Resumo:In this work, we present and demonstrate a novel sensor system for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature through a unique combination of a long period grating (LPG) and a fiber laser based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). In order to achieve this, a new erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) structure is created, showing an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of 55 dB and a peak power measured on the OSA between -5 and 0 dBm. The strain and the temperature information can be obtained by using a unique emission line through monitoring both the fiber laser wavelength shift and the change of the power level, both of which showing a clear linear behavior.
