چکیده
Abstract A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor system using a fiber ring laser with a hybrid amplifier is proposed and demonstrated. The hybrid amplifier comprises an erbium doped waveguide amplifier and a semiconductor optical amplifier. The experiment shows that such the hybrid amplifier has a high amplifier spontaneous emission power and gain spectrum. Moreover, this fiber ring laser can provide a stable multiwavelength output with an optical signal-tonoise ratio over 50 dB even if the FBGs are located at a 25 km remote sensing position.

We propose a novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor interrogation system using a Raman-based Fourier domain mode locking (FDML) fiber laser for a high speed and a long distance measurement. To improve transmission efficiency of the sensing probe signal over a long distance of 20-km, the residual pump powers are recycled. The external strain change can be measured by detecting the tine interval ...
