DEVICE AND METHOD OF CALIBRATING FIBER BRAGG GRATING BASED FIBER OPTIC OVERHEAT SYSTEMS

摘要

A system configured to monitor a plurality of zones of an aircraft includes a line replaceable unit, a first interrogator, and a controller. The line replaceable unit includes first and second connectors in optical communication and an optical fiber. The optical fibers includes a first plurality of fiber Bragg gratings and a plurality of calibration fiber Bragg gratings in a pattern providing information related to a calibration value based upon a center wavelength of each of the first plurality of fiber Bragg gratings. The first interrogator is connected to the line replaceable unit at the first end of the optical fiber and is configured to provide a first optical signal and to receive a first optical response signal from the optical fiber. The controller is operatively connected to the first interrogator and is configured to determine the calibration value of the line replaceable unit.
