Simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain based on arc-induced long-period fibre gratings

摘要

A study on arc-induced long-period fibre gratings (LPFGs) revealed that their strain sensitivity depends on the electric current of the arc discharge. Based on that property, a sensor scheme comprising two concatenated LPFGs was implemented for discrimination of temperature and strain effects. This sensor presented resolutions of /spl plusmn/0.1/spl deg/C//spl radic/Hz and /spl plusmn/35 /spl mu//spl epsiv///spl radic/Hz, respectively.
