Novel fiber bragg grating sensing method based on the sidelobe modulation for ultrasound detection by Liang, Sheng, Tjin, Swee Chuan, Lin, Bo, Sheng, Xinzhi, Lou, Shuqin, Zhang, Yongxin, Wang, Xin

“…In order to find out an effective sensing method, in this case, a novel sidelobe modulation has been proposed and investigated. When grating length is much longer than the ultrasonic wavelength, the Bragg wavelength is not shifted; however, the reflectivity of sidelobe is modulated by ultrasound, periodically, which can be utilized as an effective ultrasound sensing method. …”
