A Submerged Optical Fiber Ultrasonic Sensor Using Matched Fiber Bragg Gratings

A novel kind of fiber optic ultrasonic sensor based on matching fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is proposed and demonstrated. The sensors consist of a pair of matching FBGs fixed to a special bracket. The bracket plays a role in stretching and squeezing the FBGs, with the push–pull effect effi...
