Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry for High Density Multiplexing of Multi-Axis Fiber Bragg Gratings

Abstract

An interferometric fiber grating interrogation system utilizing a depolarized Erbium ring laser was used to interrogate transversely strained gratings written through the polyimide coating with 1 mm spatial resolution, and the interferometric results were compared to waveforms taken using a broadband source and OSA.
