The experiment results of two kinds of FBG temperature sensors in identical conditions were compared by analyzing the variety properties of center wavelength from-70℃ to 0℃.
From the experimental results,it is shown that the center wavelength of FBG temperature sensor with thin stainless steel tube package falls sharply at-60℃;
while there is a very good linearity and preferable repeatability between the center wavelength of FBG with gold package in the temperature change from-70℃ to 0℃,and almost no hysteresis effect.
doing an experiment in calibrating FBG center wavelength by three methods of piecewise linear interpolation, Lagrangeinterpolation and cubic spline interpolation, the two latter methods of which have very high precision of ± 1 pm~ ± 3 pm and stability.
The relation between the central wavelength of reflection wave of FBG and pressure was given,and the expression of the pressure sensitivity coefficient was also given.
The detailed research contents are as following:(1) Based on molecule spectrum theory and experimental data, presented are fine parameters of CH4 combined frequency band v2+v3 and wide frequency band 2v3, including absorption spectrum central wavelength, line space, intensity distribution, line type and line width. These fine parameters have played solid foundation for measurement wavelength selection, and effectively eliminated cross sensitivity.
For di- fferent light resource, system designs for harmonic detection have great differences, but all of them are based on derivative spectrum characteristics and even symmetric gas absorption line (or F-P chamber multiple vertical pattern symmetry).

Variations in the intensity of the solar radiation are measured in the six spectral intervals of the multi-channel photometer: 350, 500, 650, 850, 1100, and 1500 nm, with the bandwidths being about 10% of the central wavelength of each interval.
The RATAN-600 Zenith Field (RZF) catalog was obtained at the central wavelength of 7.6 cm, and contains 437 radio sources, virtually all of which have been identified with NVSS objects.
This effect reduces unwanted variations in the central wavelength, as well as fluctuations of the delay time of the frequency-shifted soliton with respect to the input pulse.
By slightly tuning the central wavelength of the narrowband FBG, SLM lasing at 1549.658 or 1549.563 nm (corresponding to the two transmission peaks of the FBG-FPF) is achieved with a laser output power of ~4 mW, when the pump power is ~75 mW.

In many optical fiber sensors, any drifts in the wavelength of the source which are due to changes in ambient temperature will induce errors. By theoretical analysis and experiment, this error can be reduced using software compensatory method.
The concept of tree topology Bragg Optical Fiber Grating (BOFG) distribution sensing array is introduced. Comparing with the serial topology array, this type of arrays has the following advantages. First, it is not necessary that the central reflecting wavelengths of all the BOFG sensors must be different. In general, they can be identical. Thus, the cost of producing the sensors can be cheaper and they will easily be commercialized; Secondly, for this type of arrays, it is likely that a large number of sen...
