Simultaneous Measurement Of Temperature And Strain By Three-Section Phase-Shift Long Period Fiber Grating, Hongbiao Duan Jan 2011

Simultaneous Measurement Of Temperature And Strain By Three-Section Phase-Shift Long Period Fiber Grating, Hongbiao Duan

Masters Theses

"Long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) have found many applications as sensors to measure strain, temperature, refractive index and other physical parameters. In various sensing applications, the cross-sensitivity between two parameters, especially the temperature cross-sensitivity, has been a major difficulty to achieve high accuracy measurement. One of the solutions is to develop LPFG sensors for simultaneous, multi-parameter measurements.

In this thesis, three-section phase-shift (PS) LPFGs were fabricated and investigated for simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain. Compared with a two-section PS-LPFG, a three-section PS-LPFG has two deeper resonance sub bands and a larger separation between the two bands. The strain, temperature …
