Abstract

In this paper, a novel method for multiplexing extrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometric sensors (EFPIs) using the coarse wavelength-division-multiplexing technology (CWDM) is proposed and demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge. The system and principle for sensing and multiplexing are described. A 1×4 CWDM is used to multiplex signals from four EFPIs with identical cavity length. The experimental results show that a strain accuracy of 2.5me is achieved. There is little cross-talk between adjacent sensor channels. This system improves the multiplexing capability of EFPIs by a factor of four. It is anticipated that such a sensor system could find important applications in smart materials and health monitoring for large structures.
