  • Publication number: 20100284646
    Abstract: A fiber optic grating measuring device includes a wide-band light source, an optical coupler coupled to the wide-band light source, and an output unit. A long-period fiber grating includes a first end coupled to the optical coupler and a second end coupled to the output unit. A first fiber Bragg grating is coupled to the optical coupler. The first fiber Bragg grating serves as a measuring terminal and is adapted to be mounted on an object having a physical quantity, such as a strain or temperature, to be measured by the fiber optic grating measuring device. A second fiber Bragg grating is coupled to the optical coupler. The second fiber Bragg grating serves as a free terminal and is located adjacent to the first fiber Bragg grating. The second fiber Bragg grating compensates an error resulting from a temperature change to increase the measuring accuracy.

  • Patent number: 7196318
    Abstract: The invention provides a fiber-optic sensing system, utilizing a fiber-grating-based sensor, for a physical parameter, e.g., a pressure or a temperature. Different kinds of fiber-grating-based sensors may be used for this purpose but in-fiber gratings such as Fiber Bragg Grating, Long Period Grating and Surface Corrugated Long Period Fiber Grating are particularly suitable. Due to the small size of the optical fiber and the fact that same fiber acts as the sensing element as well as the signal conducting medium, it is possible to install the sensor in a small diameter needle which is commonly used for medical diagnosis and treatment. As a result, when the fiber-optic sensing system of the invention is used for in-vivo measurement of a biological parameter, such a sensing needle can be used for different in-vivo pressure or temperature sensing applications without causing too much harm and discomfort to the subject tested.

  • Patent number: 7005630
    Abstract: This invention relates to a new technique of interrogating fiber grating sensors employed for measuring physical quantities such as temperature and force. The technique involves the edge filtering of transmitted light that occurs when a narrow bandwidth light of suitable wavelength from a laser source is passed through a Long Period Fiber Grating (LPFG). When the characteristics attenuation spectrum of the LPFG is shifting, an energy modulation effect will be achieved when one measures the intensity of the transmitted narrow bandwidth light. The narrow bandwidth strong light is best obtained by the reflection of a broad band light from a fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs).
