Abstract

We present a full-range displacement sensor system using two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The magnetic-scale-combined FBGs allow the exploration of random position. The sinusoidal function variations are displayed by two detectors with a phase difference of 90 deg, and the optimal magnetic gap is explored through numerical simulations. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated in experiments that show the sinusoidal relation between center wavelength shifts with the linear displacement. Results showed that the amplitudes of the tensile-compressive load were 446.1 μϵ and 434.7 μϵ, respectively, with linearity of 0.998 and 0.999 at 1.5 mm between the detector and the magnetic scale. These results demonstrate that the sensors can realize non-contact, temperature-independent and full-range measurement.
