摘要: We present a new technique for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor interrogation and multiplexing. The combines scanning bandpass filter used to multiplex by wavelength multiple gratings in single fiber, an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer made with 3/spl times/3 coupler detect strain-induced shifts. A demonstration system interrogates four at sampling rate up 20 kHz, noise floor measured less than 10 n/spl epsiv///spl radic/(Hz) above 0.1 Hz.
