Fiber Bragg Grating Interrogation Using a Micro-ring Resonator Tunable Filter with Peak Wavelength Detection Enhancement

摘要

This work presents a demodulation technique using a silicon micro-ring resonator that extracts wavelength information from a FBG sensor. The device implements an interrogation system employing a signal processing technique that translates the peak wavelength position of a FBG spectral line into a time interval measurement. To determine the peaks, three techniques were applied. One was based on a simple maximum detection algorithm, the other two, enhanced the detected signal by applying a finite impulse filter (FIR) and a smoothing filter. Results show an improvement of the wavelength measurement using the filtering technique compared to the maximum peak detection.
