What can fiber optic grating sensors measure
Fiber Bragg grating technology is popularly used in measurements of various physical parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and strain for civil engineering, industrial engineering, military, maritime, and aerospace applications. This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) optical sensors have emerged as a leading technology for distributed strain and temperature measurement. Optical fiber sensors (OFS) appeared just after the invention of the practical optical fiber by Corning Glass Works in 1970, now Corning Incorporated, that produced the first fiber with losses below 20 dB/km.
