چکیده
We propose and demonstrate a multiplexed fiber-optic sensor system using a dual-slope (triangular) frequency-modulated laser source. The restrictions in the selection of beat frequencies of the multiplexed sensors in previous studies that employed ramp modulation wave forms are eliminated.

Coherence-multiplexed fiber-optic sensor systems for measurements of pressure and temperature changes
A digital demodulation method for read-out of phase changes induced in coherence-multiplexed sensors based on highly birefringent fibers is described. The method employs the fringe counting principle and enables registration of the phase shifts simultaneously induced in two multiplexed sensors with a maximum frequency of 10 kHz and resolution of 1/4 of the interference fringe. The performance o...
متن کاملApplications of Structural Health Monitoring Using Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber optic sensors have many advantages such as ease of embedding, flexible sensor size, wide temperature range, high sensitivity and etc[1]. Thus, fiber optic sensors have been introduced into many composite structures. Especially, FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) strain sensors have noticeable attractions due to multiplexing capability, linear response and absolute measurement [2]. However, the use...

(Abstract) The health monitoring of smart structures in civil engineering is becoming more and more important as in-situ structural monitoring would greatly reduce structure life-cycle costs and improve reliability. The distributed strain and temperature sensing is highly desired in large structures where strain and temperature at over thousand points need to be measured simultaneously. It is d...
متن کاملNew Opportunities in Fiber-optic Sensors
Several possibilities for new fiber-optic sensors are proposed that are based on two-photon spectroscopic techniques. Examples are chemical sensors, including multiplexed sensors, as well as magnetidelectric sensors. The development of a compact, low-cost fiber-optic method for tbe accurate measurement of timdfrequency is also proposed.

Sub-carrier-multiplexed (SCM) fiber optic systems have received much attention for local access networks, fiber radios, and cable television distributions [l]. With SCM, multiple channels of analog videos and digital telephony/data can all be simultaneously transmitted by a single optical carrier and detected by the same photodetector. Direct modulation of semiconductor lasers is a simple, low-...
