A fiber Bragg grating interrogating dynamic strains sensor system using interference of polarized mode

Abstract

Abstract:

A simple novel fiber Bragg grating interrogating system is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on interference of polarized Mode. The essential part of the system is only comprised of a high birefringence fiber with fiber reflector and a fiber polarizer. The vibration micro-nano signals from 0.1Hz to 7.9 kHz have been picked up fidelity; Measurements of dynamic strains with resolutions of in 50Hz bandwidth were demonstrated. Experiments show that the system is suitable for wide frequency range, micro-nano range of dynamic strain detection. This system potentially offers a low-cost and high-performance solution for the interrogation of FBG sensor.

Key words: fiber and waveguide optics, interference of polarized mode, fiber Bragg grating, dynamic strain, interrogating sensor system
