Principle of Fiber Optic Grating Demodulation
Our technique exploits the reflection characteristics of fiber Bragg gratings written in polarization-maintaining fibers to create a frequency discriminator, which is able to convert PM/FM signals into intensity-modulated (IM) signals. In this paper, a novel demodulation algorithm based on the variable-step-size method and cross-correlation algorithm is proposed to demodulate the wavelength of an FBG. Fibre Bragg gratings are one of the most popular sensors with a huge number of applications. However, current FBG demodulation methods face issues with stability, size, and cost. In this study, we proposed a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chip to demodulate FBGs based on random speckles.
