Restoration of Reflection Spectra in a Serial FBG Sensor Array of a WDM/TDM Measurement System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A restoration method for reflection spectra in a serial FBG sensor array with spectral shadowing is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a WDM/TDM combined multiplexing system. The SNR of each FBG sensor is formulated and analyzed as a function of the number and reflectivities of serial FBG sensors. The maximum number of FBG sensors in a single fiber line can be determined by the approximate formula. In the test using two FBG sensors, the restored reflection spectrum of second FBG sensor is shown to be very well matched with the original reflection spectrum. Using the proposed restoration method, the maximum peak detection error in a strain experiment is suppressed drastically by almost seven-fold, from 0.074 nm to 0.011 nm.
