A Transverse Load Sensor with Reconfigurable Measurement Accuracy Based on a Microwave Photonic Filter

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We propose a transverse load sensor with reconfigurable measurement accuracy based on a microwave photonic filter in the Ku band, incorporating a polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating. A prototype sensor with a reconfigurable measurement accuracy tuning range from 6.09 to 9.56 GHz/(N/mm), and corresponding minimal detectable load range from 0.0167 to 0.0263 N/mm, is experimentally demonstrated. The results illustrate that up to 40% manufacturing error in the grating length can be dynamically calibrated to the same corresponding measurement accuracy for the proposed transverse load sensor, by controlling the semiconductor optical amplifier’s injection current in the range of 154 to 419 mA.
