    Abstract: A sensor interrogation unit in one embodiment includes a control module, a reading module, and a determination module. The control module is configured to control one or more lasers to provide a pulsed signal to at least one sensor. Each period of the pulsed signal has a first component having a first intensity and a second component having a second intensity that is lower than the first intensity. The reading module is configured to receive at least one return signal comprising reflections of the pulsed signal from the at least one sensor, to read one of the first component or the second component, and to provide frequency information based on the read reflections. The determination module is configured to determine at least one resonant frequency of the at least one sensor based on the frequency information.

    Abstract: A pressure sensing cable in one embodiment includes a polarization maintaining (PM) optic fiber having a length; and a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) pair formed in the PM optic fiber. The FBG pair includes a first FBG formed at a location along the length of the optic fiber. The first FBG defines a first wavelength range at which the first FBG is reflective. The FBG pair also includes a second FBG spaced a distance from the first FBG to define a FBG cavity extending between the first FBG and the second FBG. The second FBG defines a second wavelength range at which the second FBG is reflective. The first wavelength range of the first FBG and the second wavelength range of the second FBG at least partially overlap.
