High-sensitivity temperature-independent differential pressure sensor using fiber Bragg gratings

Opt Express. 2008 Sep 29;16(20):16013-8. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.016013.

Abstract

By means of novel packaged-structure design, a temperature independent differential pressure sensor based on fiber Bragg gratings with high sensitivity is experimentally demonstrated. The differential pressure sensitivity of the sensor can reach to 821.87nm/MPa. This device can also be used for simultaneous measurement of temperature and differential pressure, which is suitable for applications involving measurement of liquid level, liquid density or specific gravity detection.
