Principle of Fiber Bragg Grating Liquid Level Sensor
In this paper, we present a fiber sensor using a fiber Bragg grating encapsulated in a half-polymer-filled metal cylinder for measuring liquid level variation. The operating mechanism of this novel design is based on transferring radial pressure into axial strain to induce Bragg wavelength shift. Referencing to a same liquid level (of a liquid reservoir or reference sensor), a group of such sensor interrogated simultaneously by a FBG interrogator can construct a differential. Fiber Bragg grating has embraced the area of fiber optics since the early days of its discovery, and most fiber optic sensor systems today make use of fiber Bragg grating technology.
