Weak Reflection Fiber Bragg Grating Demodulator
A high speed quasi-distributed demodulation method based on the microwave photonics and the chromatic dispersion effect is designed and implemented for weak fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). A broadband light modulated with a frequency-swept microwave is reflected by FBGs, and the reflected signal mixes with the original microwave to. 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. With the help of a wavelength-swept laser, the reflection spectrum and transmission spectrum of an FBG can be mapped into two pulse signals with opposite.

Fiber Bragg grating for liquid level measurement
In this paper, we present a fiber sensor using a fiber Bragg grating encapsulated in a half-polymer-filled metal cylinder for measuring liquid level variation. The operating mechanism of this novel design is based on transferring radial pressure into axial strain to induce Bragg wavelength shift. Referencing to a same liquid level (of a liquid reservoir or reference sensor), a group of such sensor interrogated simultaneously by a FBG interrogator can construct a differential. The design and packaging of simple, small, and low cost sensor heads, used for continuous liquid level measurement using uniformly thinned (etched) optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) are proposed. The sensor system consists of only an FBG and a simple detection system. Characterization is performed by submerging.

Fiber Optic Used in Sensors
Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of intrinsic fiber-optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over very large distances.
