Abl. Ribeiro et al., ALL-FIBER INTERROGATION TECHNIQUE FOR FIBER BRAGG SENSORS USING A BICONICAL FIBER FILTER, Electronics Letters, 32(4), 1996, pp. 382-383
A passive self-referencing all-fibre technique for Bragg wavelength de
tection using a biconical fibre filter is described. This filter, basi
cally a tapered depressed-cladding fibre, exhibits a periodic spectral
power dependence which permits direct tracking of wavelength shifts i
n a 20nm unambiguous range. Dynamic strain resolution of 1.5 mu strain
/root Hz has been achieved.
