Article Abstract
Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are extensively employed for structural health and condition monitoring. However, the high cost and large size of conventional FBG demodulation methods have hindered the widespread adoption of FBG-based sensing technologies. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes what we believe to be a novel demodulation system leveraging a tunable laser. The system utilizes a gated recurrent unit (GRU) peak-finding algorithm, implemented on an STM32 microcontroller with edge AI capabilities, all integrated onto a compact 100×100×10 mm circuit board. This approach enables demodulation across the entire C-band, achieving a monitoring range of 70 km, a demodulation frequency of 100 Hz, and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 9.6 pm.

A compact fiber Bragg grating (FBG) interrogator, integrating an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) chip, photodiode (PD) array, and demodulation circuits within an 85 × 60 × 40 mm volume, has been designed and fabricated. Utilizing what we believe to be a novel three-point demodulation technique, precise center wavelength demodulation is achieved. The conventional thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is supplanted by a look-up table (LUT) in conjunction with interpolation for temperature compensation.

Optical fiber sensors have advantages such as small size and good biocompatibility, leading to widespread interest in the field of hand motion tracking. In this work, we designed a multi-core fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Perots (FBG-FPs) sensor based on FP interference theory. We inscribed short FBGs with different wavelengths in different fiber cores to form the FP, and then employed thermal diffusion technology for single-channel acquisition of the multi-core fiber FBG-FPs sensor.

In this study, we propose a robust self-adaptive multi-peak detection algorithm. First, the reflected signals from the optical fiber Bragg grating array are normalized to enhance the stability of the algorithm.

The sensor assembly integrated a Type II fine-core pure silica fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a Type I Ge-doped regenerative fiber Bragg grating (RFBG). The matrix's condition number was optimized by leveraging differential sensitivities to temperature and strain, combined with 2×2 matrix demodulation techniques, resulting in a substantial improvement in measurement accuracy.
