This paper proposes a new approach to detecting bolts' anchoring qualities based on the fiber Bragg grating sensing principle. Basically, Fiber Optic Bragg Sensors are strain-measuring devices and therefore provide many of the advantages of the well known metal foil strain gages. This paper gives a short introduction to FBG sensors, points out their special strengths and weaknesses and describes a measuring system which.

The fundamental principle behind the operation of an FBG is, where light traveling between media of different refractive indices may both and at the interface. The values measured by the optical interrogator (data acquisition system) are the peak wavelengths of the narrow spectrum reflected by the fiber Bragg grating sensor. A fiber Bragg grating is a small length of optical fiber that comprises a pattern of many reflection points that creates a reflection of particular wavelengths of incident light.

An Optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is a periodic modulation of the refractive index within the core of an optical fiber. This structure acts as a wavelength-selective reflector, transmitting most wavelengths while reflecting a narrow band centered at the Bragg wavelength (λ B). The fibre Bragg grating can perform many primary functions, such as reflection and filtering for example, in a highly effi ient, low loss manner. They feature low thermal slope with our high-power package and can andle kW-level pump and signal power. Custom desiA variation of the period of the grating inscripted in a fiber optic – induced by mechanical or thermal perturbation – causes a shift of the reflected peak wavelength, due to the related optical path length variation.

We propose a modified Transfer Matrix Method model to simulate a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in a polarization maintaining optical fiber. A po-larization-maintaining random fiber Bragg grating (PMRFBG) array based on the photonic localization effect of lon-gitudinal invariant transverse disorder in fiber structure is proposed, which can be used as random feedback of dual-wavelength and wavelength switchable output of random fiber. Fiber-Bragg Gratings (FBG) for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) have been studied extensively as they offer electrically passive operation, EMI immunity, high sensitivity, and multiple multiplexing schemes, as compared to conventional electricity based strain sensors.
