US 2018/0274979 A1: Optical Sensor, Sensor Arrangement And Method For Sensing (2019)
Abstract: Various embodiments provide an optical sensor having an optical source, a grating arrangement optically coupled to the optical source to receive a source optical signal from the optical source, the grating arrangement including a chirped FBG having a defined spectral profile, wherein, in response to a first change in at least one parameter interacting with the chirped FBG, the defined spectral profile is shifted in a first direction relative to a reference spectral profile, and the grating arrangement is configured, in response thereto, to generate a first output optical signal corresponding to the first change, and wherein, in response to a second change in the at least one parameter interacting with the chirped FBG, the defined spectral profile is shifted in a second direction relative to the reference spectral profile, and the grating arrangement is configured, in response thereto, to generate a second output optical signal corresponding to the second change.
