    摘要: A wavelength interrogator is coupled to a circulator which couples optical energy from a broadband source to an optical fiber having a plurality of sensors, each sensor reflecting optical energy at a unique wavelength and directing the reflected optical energy to an AWG. The AWG has a detector coupled to each output, and the reflected optical energy from each grating is coupled to the skirt edge response of the AWG such that the adjacent channel responses form a complementary pair response. The complementary pair response is used to convert an AWG skirt response to a wavelength.

    摘要: A temperature correcting pressure gauge which has a substrate having at least one surface coupled to a source of pressure to be measured, the substrate first surface having a first fiber Bragg grating from a first optical fiber attached in an appropriately sensitive region of the substrate, a fiber Bragg grating from a second optical fiber attached to the opposite surface from the first fiber Bragg grating, the first and second fiber Bragg gratings reflecting or transmitting optical energy of decreasing or increasing wavelength, respectively, in response to an applied pressure. The first and second fiber Bragg gratings have nominal operating wavelength ranges that are adjacent to each other but are exclusive ranges and the fiber Bragg gratings also have closely matched pressure coefficients and temperature coefficients.
