Novel measurement scheme of peak separation of side-hole fiber grating

摘要

There are two peaks of different polarizations in the reflection spectrum of the side-hole fiber grating and their separation interval has a linear variation along with the pressure changing while it is insensitive to the temperature.We have proposed a novel measurement scheme based on polarization detection.The detection of peak separation is achieved by measuring the two peaks’ center wavelengths separately with all polarization maintaining fiber system.The side-hole fiber grating pressure sensing within the range of 0～3.5 MPa is realized successfully with the new scheme.
