Development of a wavelength detection system for fiber grating sensors

This paper reports the development of a wavelength detection system that can be used to detect the Bragg wavelength of fiber Bragg grating sensors. The system can interrogate up to 100 sensors with wavelength detection resolution on the order of picometers. The results of medium-term test will be reported. Possible applications will be discussed.
