Abstract: Disclosed are a Raman or erbium-doped fiber laser using a few-mode fiber grating, and a long-distance remote sensor using the same that can simultaneously measure temperature and strain by separating temperature and strain components using Raman amplification or erbium amplification. When a multi-wavelength Raman or erbium-doped laser is configured by means of a short-period fiber grating serving as a few-mode fiber grating at one side of a resonator and a chirped fiber Bragg grating or tunable chirped fiber Bragg grating at the other side of the resonator, multi-wavelength laser signals are generated in different modes. Because wavelength shift and reflectivity vary with a change in temperature and strain, temperature and strain components can be simultaneously measured. Because an optical fiber of several tens of kilometers is used, it can be utilized as a sensing probe of the long-distance remote sensor.
