  • integrated real time monitoring system for strain temperature distribution based on simultaneous wavelength and time division Multiplexing technique
    2014
    Co-Authors: Yongbo Dai, Anand Asundi, Yanju Liu, Jinsong Leng
    Abstract:

    Abstract Based on the combination of wavelength- and Time-Division Multiplexing technique, a novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor Multiplexing system is proposed, which can be used for monitoring the two-dimensional strain and temperature field distribution in large structures. The FBG sensing unit is encoded simultaneously in both wavelength and time domains. Using the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) resonant cavity technology, a large capacity Multiplexing technology with mixed Time-Division and wave-division Multiplexing (TDM+WDM) is presented. The sensor array contains many groups with each group composed of many sensors. The group is addressed by TDM mode and each sensor of the groups is accessed by WDM mode. Therefore, the total Multiplexing capacity is multiplication of TDM and WDM. In theory, more than 1000 sensors can be multiplexed on one single fiber. The feasibility of the scheme was experimentally demonstrated through a sensor system with a two dimensional FBG sensing network with 5×5 sensors arrays. In addition, the strain/temperature distribution in an aluminum plate was measured at real time under different loading/heating by using above FBG sensing network.

  • A novel Time-Division Multiplexing fiber Bragg grating sensor interrogator for structural health monitoring
    2009
    Co-Authors: Yongbo Dai, Jinsong Leng, Gang Deng, Yanju Liu, Anand Asundi
    Abstract:

    A novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor system for measurement of strain and temperature is proposed in this paper. The proposed sensor technique is based on Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM). A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), connected in a ring cavity, is used to serve as a gain medium and switch. The SOA is driven by a pulse generator, which operates the SOA at different periods of time to select reflected pulses from a particular sensor. The FBG sensors have identical center wavelengths and can be deployed along the same fiber. This technique relieves the spectral bandwidth issue and permits the interrogation of up to 100 FBGs along a fiber, if the reflectivity of the individual sensors is sufficiently low to avoid shadowing effects. This system is particularly suitable for the application in structural health monitoring (SHM) where large numbers of sensors are required in wide measurement ranges. Crown Copyright © 2009.
