The fiber-optic displacement sensor based on the distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser is proposed, that is, the fiber laser
cavity is attached to the measured object, when the measured object is stretched or contracted, and the length of the fiber
laser cavity is changing too. In view of nonlinearity of the fiber-optic displacement sensor, the calibration based on
piezoelectric ceramics is applied to improve the linearity of the displacement sensor. Experiment results show that the
fiber-optic displacement sensor has a linear response with the nominal working distance of 90 μm. Furthermore, the
fiber-optic displacement sensor may realize the dynamic measurement.
The experiment of tunable DBR fiber laser based on temperature and PZT is described and studied. A DBR laser has also been
introduced in this paper. A DBR laser cavity is applied as a turning part of the optical fiber cavity. The central frequency of spectrum
output from DBR laser is changed by temperature and stress. Experimental results show that the tunable DBR fiber laser based on
closed-loop PZT modulation is linear and the tuning range can achieve to about 0.8nm.
The way to improve the reflectivity of chemical composition grating (CCG) sensors is studied. Experimental results
show that improving the initial fiber Bragg grating (FBG) reflectivity strength and enhancing the hydrogen concentration
in the initial FBG inscription help to increase the reflectivity of the CCG sensors at high temperatures.
The relation of beat frequency, sweep rate, optical frequency modulation excursion and length of fiber under test (FUT)
based on tunable semiconductor laser is studied. Experimental results show that the frequency of beat signal will increase
when the length of the FUT, optical frequency modulation excursion or sweep rate increases.
Chemical composition gratings, used as strain sensing elements at high temperature environments, show a temperature
dependence of their strain response. Temperature dependence of the strain response of CCGs over a range of
temperatures from 24°C to 900°C has been measured. It is found that the wavelength shift of CCGs is linear with applied
tensile strain at a constant temperature, and the strain sensitivity is 0.0011nm/με.
This paper presents an interrogation system based on the linear nGaAs photodiode array and volume
phase grating. By applying SDM and WDM technology, we have developed the interrogation system based on the
linear lnGaAs photodiode array and volume phase grating. The system has the following advantages: small size,
low power consumption, high resolution, interrogation speed, repeatability and reliability. Experimental results
show that the interrogation system can be used to interrogate the FBG sensors with wavelength bandwidth of
42nm, SNR of about 30dB, wavelength accuracy of ±15pm, and it shows a good prospect.
