Abstract

A novel fibre-optic sensing system used for temperature- strain discrimination is presented. This system consists of an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor (EFPI) and a chirped in-fibre Bragg grating (CFBG) in series. The EFPI and the CFBG are wavelength-division multiplexed to provide strain and temperature information, respectively. The wavelength-shift of the CFBG induced by temperature change at the 1.55μm region is interrogated with an intensity- based scheme, allowing fast measurement of temperature. The cavity length change of the EFPI is measured at the 1.3μm region, allowing strain to be measured without cross-talk from the temperature sensor, i.e, the CFBG. Experimental results show that the achieved accuracies for strain and temperature measurement are ±20με and ±2°C, respectively.
