Education by Means of Experiments on Optical Fiber Distributed Sensing Using Wavelength Division Multiplexing Technique
抄録
Research on distributed sensing based on fiber Bragg grating is changing its stage from the laboratory phase to the phase of real various kinds of industrial applications such as the application in the region of pre-maintenance for high-tech aerospace, building and constructions called as health monitoring especially very important for our country Japan occasionally having earthquakes. This phase change began in the middle of 1990s when the technique suitable for mass-production of fiber Bragg gratings was invented. This trend will become stronger in the future. From this view point, Department of Electronics and Control Engineering of Nagano National College of Technology started the education by means of experiments on distributed sensing based on optical fiber Bragg gratings. This paper describes the text.
