Differential multiplexing of fiber bragg gratings by means of optical time domain refractometry

A differential method of detection and multiplexing of signals from fiber Bragg gratings based on optical time domain reflectometry is developed. The method is based on probing of a system of gratings by means of short laser pulses and measurement of the power of the resulting reflected pulses by means of standard fiber-optic reflectometry. The proposed method may find extensive use in the area of monitoring of deformation and temperature distributions by means of fiber-optic sensors based on Bragg gratings.
