Multiple fiber Bragg grating sensor system using code-division multiple access.

We propose and demonstrate experimentally a multiple fiber Bragg grating sensor system that uses a LED as a light source and adapts the code-division multiple access method to separate individual sensor signals. We measured static and dynamic strains and cross-talk levels among sensor signals. With our proposed scheme, a low-cost sensor system can be designed with a fast response speed. Cross-talk levels between sensor signals are found to be below the -30-dB level.
