Abstract

In this work, uniform Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) temperature sensor system were implemented and investigated due to measurement of the Bragg wavelength shift. An (FBG) is an optical fiber in which the refractive index in the core is perturbed by Germanium, forming a periodic index modulation profile. When light is guided through a fiber granting, it is scattered at each diffraction plane, except at those wavelengths which satisfy the Bragg resonance condition
An important application of FBG technology is sensing. The reflected wavelength from the FBG depends on physical properties such as temperature. By integration the FBG with broadband light, the shift in peak reflectivity wavelength can be used as a measure for the temperature.
It has been shown from the results that the FBG is very sensitive to variations in temperature degrees and the sensitivity was (1pm/0.1°C), also observed from the results, the relation between the shifted Bragg wavelength and temperature degrees was linear.
