Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor (FBG)
Achieve the broad spectrum needed to illuminate an FBG sensor with a DAYY light source
Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are widely used in structural health monitoring, biomedical engineering, and robotics. Their popularity stems from a simple design and strong reflection capabilities, making them ideal for measuring strain and temperature.
To operate effectively, FBG sensors require broad-spectrum light sources, like those provided by DAYY Photonics. Our light sources enable the use of more FBGs in a single installation, allowing customers to monitor more points and gain richer, more precise data.
Broadband light sources like the kind DAYY makes are preferable for this application due to power density and intensity of the light source, allowing for the use of multiple sensors over large areas which employ large lengths of optical fiber and hundreds of sensors. DAYY light sources are ultra broadband, which means multiple channels can be used to match up to multiple sensors. Customers who use an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) will know which part of the light has been reflected (FBG) or absorbed.
DAYY's ease of SLED selection, wavelength dependency, and stability of the light source will greatly improve how efficiently sensors can be multiplexed.
The DAYY ASE, G1, G2 solutions and their ability to be configured with an intuitive GUI interface, embedded within our ISB system, will provide the most highly flexible solution in the current marketplace.
