The optical measurement method for structural twist monitoring with using tilted Bragg grating sensor

摘要

This paper presents the proposal for application of optical fiber sensor based on tilted Bragg gratings (TFBGs) for monitoring of structural twist. Article also shows the fully optical method for sensor signal demodulation using single passive fiber structure as traditional fiber Bragg grating (FBG). In such system the power of light reflected from FBG carries the information about twist between selected sections of monitored structure. This allows to avoid the expensive and vulnerable equipment for demodulation of TFBG spectral properties.
