Abstract

A sensor multiplexing scheme for the simultaneous monitoring of dynamic strain and temperature is presented. The scheme combines low-coherence and wavelength-division signal processing with a serial array of fibre-fabry-Perot (FFP) interferometric sensors defined by in-fibre grating mirrors of matched Bragg wavelength. Heterodyne measurements of signal phase from a 39 cm long FFP interferometer result in a dynamic strain resolution of about 0.14 ns Hz(-1/2) at acoustic frequencies. Temperature measurements via the induced changes in Bragg wavelength have a sensitivity of about 8 pm degrees C-1. The cross-talk between the strain and temperature channels is within the system noise.
