Abstract

Optical fiber sensors offer a viable alternative to traditional electronic sensors because of their small size and high immunity to environmental phenomena. While many researchers focus on developing and applying new optical sensing technologies, there is also a great need for better fiber sensor interrogators. An interrogator is the system used to collect the data from the sensor, which with optical sensors usually involves the transfer of an optical signal to an electric signal. The current equipment required for interrogating fiber optic sensors tends to be large, bulky and costly, has high power consumption, and usually performs only the most basic functions. There is a need for smaller, faster, and more flexible interrogating systems.
