Patent number: 8280202Abstract: A fiber-optic dynamic sensing module comprises a support member, a beam extending from the support member, and a pre-strained fiber Bragg grating sensor and a strain-free fiber Bragg grating sensor mounted on the beam. The pre-strained and strain-free fiber Bragg grating sensors each comprise a Bragg grating inscribed in a fiber. The Bragg grating of the pre-strained fiber Bragg grating sensor is packaged more tightly along a longitudinal direction of the beam than the Bragg grating of the strain-free fiber Bragg grating sensor.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Hua Xia, Kevin Thomas McCarthy, Jeffrey Scott Goldmeer, Ertan Yilmaz, Ted Carlton Kreutz, Clayton Ming Young, Russell Stephen Demuth, Hunt Adams Sutherland
