摘要:
A fiber Bragg grating cross-wire sensor may be used to independently determine strain and temperature variation. An example fiber Bragg grating cross-wire sensor comprises a first fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that reflects a first percentage, R1, of light of a first wavelength, λ1, and a second FBG that reflects a second percentage, R2, of light of a second wavelength, λ2. The second FBG is positioned orthogonal to the first FBG, and λ1 is substantially equal to λ2, but R1 is different from R2. As the FBG cross-wire sensor experiences a strain and/or a temperature variation, the wavelengths of light reflected by the first FBG and the second FBG will shift from the first and second wavelength, λ1 and λ2, to first and second shifted wavelengths, λA and λT, respectively. Based on R1, R2, λ1, λA, and λT, the strain and/or the temperature variation may be independently determined.

A sensor head is described herein. The sensor head can include a first piece, where the first piece can include a body having an outer surface and an inner surface. The first piece can also include a light source cavity disposed in the body at the inner surface. The first piece can further include an optical device cavity disposed in the body at the inner surface. The first piece can also include an ellipsoidal cavity disposed in the body at the inner surface, where the ellipsoidal cavity is disposed adjacent to the optical device cavity. The first piece can further include a receiving device cavity disposed in the body adjacent to the inner surface that forms the ellipsoidal cavity. The first piece can also include at least one channel disposed in the body.
