ABSTRACT:
A differential measurement system using pairs of Bragg gratings including at least one optical sensor having two Bragg gratings in two optical waveguides and having sensitivities adjusted so that respective spectra of the two gratings have a relative spectral shift dependent on a parameter or parameters to be measured. The system also includes an optical source to supply light to the two optical waveguides to interrogate them, a mechanism enabling light to pass successively through the two Bragg gratings of the same sensor, photodetectors to measure the power level of light having passed only through one of the two optical waveguides and the power level of light having passed successively through the two optical waveguides, and a processor to process the power levels and supply values of the parameter or parameters measured. The system is applicable in particular to measurements of temperatures, stresses, and pressures.
