Abstract

A fiber optic sensor using the first and the second order fiber Bragg grating spectra to simultaneously measure temperature and strain is investigated. A theoretical model for estimating the wavelength and the reflectivity of the second order Bragg resonance in a fiber grating is developed, and the results are compared with the experimental results in Corning SMF 28 fiber. Moreover, technical issues regarding the sensor design such as the spectral characteristics of the Bragg gratings, bending loss in optical fibers and the higher order propagation modes are investigated. Experiments are conducted to measure the strain and temperature response of the grating sensors and compared to conventional sensors with encouraging results.
