Figure 2.
Opto-electronics system for the designed sensor. Light sources are two different wavelength Thorlabs fibre-coupled LEDs (660 nm and 850 nm). The photodetector is a Thorlabs PDA36AEC. The data-acquisition system is a National Instruments myDAQ at 16 bits and 20 kHz sampling frequency. The FBG interrogator is a Smart Fibres SmartScan FBG interrogator with 0.8 pm resolution. (I/V—current to voltage converter, DAC—digital-to-analogue converter, ADC—analogue-to-digital converter and PC—personal computer).
