2015 journal article

Spectral profile tracking of multiplexed fiber Bragg grating sensors

OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS, 357, 113–119.

By: W. Stewart n , B. Van Hoe n, G. Van Steenberge *, S. Schultz * & K. Peters n 

author keywords: Fiber Bragg gratings; Multiplexing; Demodulation; Cross-correlation
TL;DR: The demodulation generally performed well, except for cases where a significant amount of spectral distortion due to multiplexing was present, and therefore needs further investigation for practical applications. (via Semantic Scholar)
