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.

In this study, the behavior of FBGs under varying temperatures is modeled using Coupled Mode Theory (CMT), which provides an analytical framework for the coupling of forward and backward propagating modes within a periodic refractive index structure. It should be noted that temperature and strain sensitivities must be considered, when high performance of the optimal sensor is required. In this topic, we demonstrate how to simulate fiber Bragg grating (FBGs) using MODE'. 5, and a periodic variation of 1e-3 in the refractive index of the core of a step-index fiber. The optical properties of FBG and LPG are firstly analyzed and, consequently, the basics of simulation models are provided.

A high-performance, low-cost demodulation system is essential for fiber-optic sensor-based measurement applications. This interrogator is compatible with all specifications and models of OFSCN® FBG sensors (including Temperature, Stress, and Strain FBG sensors). It features adjustable port density (4, 8, 16, and 32 channels), high refresh rates (10, 20, 50, and 100 Hz). A high speed, high performance, portable, dual-channel, optical Fiber Bragg Grating demodulator based on fiber Fabry- Pérot tunable filter (FFP-FT) is reported in this paper.
