Fiber optic sensing works by measuring changes in the “backscattering” of light occurring in an optical fiber when the fiber encounters vibration, strain or temperature change. From energy. Rationale for optical temperature sensing and WBGs Most current temperature sensors rely on a thermistor, which is a resistor whose resistance changes with temperature (an example is given in Typical thermistor (a)). Put simply, when a constant voltage is applied over the thermistor, changes in the. Fiber optic sensing technology in engineering has grown significantly and marks substantial progress in the measuring and monitoring domains. Due to the wavelength dependence on temperature and strain, FBGs are widely used for optical sensing.
Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of intrinsic fiber-optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over very large distances.
By employing thin film technology to form Fabry–Perot (FP) cavities on the end-face or inside the fiber, sensitivity to different physical quantities can be achieved using different materials, and this greatly expands the application range of fiber sensing. However, such sensors have high.

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a. A fiber Bragg grating is a periodic or aperiodic perturbation of the effective refractive index in the core of an optical fiber (see Figure 1). The application of FBG's to strain measurements has been of great interest to industries.
