Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of a highly efficient FBG-based quasi-distributed sensing system employing dual-wavelength cyclic pulse coding. Significant improvement in the measurement range, resolution and TDM multiplexing capabilities can be achieved, as well as crosstalk reduction with respect to a single wavelength TDM-based FBG interrogation scheme. The mechanism of noise reduction by quasi-periodic cyclic coding is experimentally demonstrated, pointing out significant improvement in accuracy with respect to dual-wavelength single pulse TDM-based FBG interrogation. The proposed technique can also enhance the sensing range of hybrid fiber optic sensor systems in which continuous monitoring of distributed and discrete points are simultaneously measured over the same sensing fiber.
