OFDR distributed sensing system with chirped grating also offers longer available time, which makes it convenient to measure slow time-varying signal.

文摘In this paper, the waveforms in time domain and frequency domain of two kinds of optical frequency domain refleetometry （OFDR） sensing systems are com- pared, which use common fiber Bragg grating （FBG） and chirped grating, respectively.

OFDR distributed sensing system with chirped grating also offers longer available time, which makes it convenient to measure slow time-varying signal. Such OFDR distributed sensing system is supposed to be more suitable to be applied in bridge health monitoring, and it will improve the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.
