Home / Thermo-optical effect of fiber grating
Change in surrounding temperature impacts the effective grating period by either linear thermal expansion of the material and/or a change in the fiber's refractive index due to temperature (thermo-optic effect). In recent years there has been considerable interest in developing photonic temperature sensors such as the Fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) as an alternative to resistance thermometry. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are receiving much attention for fiber sensor applications due to their small size, absolute measurement capability, immunity to electromagnetic interference, wavelength multiplexing, and distributed sensing possibilities. A composite optical bench made up of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) skin and aluminum honeycomb has been developed for the Tunable Magnetograph instrument (TuMag) for the SUNRISE III mission within the NASA Long Duration Balloon Program.
