A multi-point temperature warning sensor system with different thresholds using a multi-channel reference FBG

20 ns-width pulses are modulated on a multi-wavelength fiber ring laser and transmit into two fiber Bragg grating based sensing heads with different wavelength. When the temperature exceeds the threshold at certain position, the light at corresponding time slot and wavelength will be reflected. Thus, the warning location of temperature increasing will be easily determined from OTDM (optical time division multiplexing) demodulation technique.
