    Fiber Bragg Grating Multiplexing CDMA

    Abstract: In order to increase the multiplying density of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors, a novel FBG Sensing System based on CDMA technology has been developed. Simulation experiment indicates the CDMA technology combine with optical fiber grating sensing system together successfully. The encoding of each sensor requires two binary codewords to define the amplitude and phase patterns of each sensor. This technique is based on the modulation of light inten-sity from a broadband source by a swept-frequency RF carrier.
