Description
Summary:In this paper, a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) interrogation technique based on high Birefringence fibre loop mirror (Hi-Bi FLM) and wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) is proposed and demonstrated. The approximate linear edge of the transmittance of the Hi-Bi FLM, which is a sinusoidal function of wavelength, is used to interrogate the sensing FBGs and WDMs is used to realize wavelength discrimination .Suitable for both static and dynamic sensing, this interrogation method has the advantages of all fibre design and high stability.
