In FBG-based sensing, each Fiber Bragg Grating acts as a wavelength-selective mirror, reflecting light at a specific Bragg wavelength while transmitting other wavelengths along the fiber. WDM leverages this property by assigning distinct wavelengths to each FBG sensor, enabling multiple sensors to coexist on the same fiber without interference. A broadband light source illuminates the fiber, and the reflected wavelengths are analyzed using an optical interrogator or spectrum analyzer to determine the sensor readings, such as strain, temperature, or pressure .
WDM-based FBG sensing is widely used for quasi-distributed monitoring in large structures, including bridges, aircraft, pipelines, and industrial machinery. Its ability to interrogate multiple sensors simultaneously with high accuracy and low loss makes it the most commonly used FBG multiplexing technique today . In summary, WDM enables efficient, scalable, and high-resolution monitoring using FBG sensors, making it ideal for applications requiring large sensor networks over long distances.
