Abstract
We developed a fiber-optic Bragg grating sensor system using a SOA fiber laser for over heat detection in power systems. To compensate the nonlinear wavelength tuning of the fiber laser, we used fixed passband wavelengths from Fabry-Perot ITU filter as reference wavelengths. Gaussian line-fitting algorithm was also used to reduce the FBG peak detection error. Compared with a highest-peak-detection and a polynomial-fitting method, the proposed Gaussian fitting algorithm could drastically reduce the measurement errors. Also the SOA fiber laser made it possible to enhance the signal-to-noise-ratio even with several kilometers of lead fiber.
