ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber sensor array is disclosed which includes a first sensor fiber and a first reference fiber coupled at one end thereof to one side of a first optical coupling. A first wavelength selective reflector is coupled to the other end of each of the first sensor fiber and the first reference fiber. A second sensor fiber is coupled at one end to one side of a second optical coupling. The other side of the second optical coupling is coupled to an opposite side of one of the first wavelength selective reflectors coupled on one side to the first sensor fiber and the first reference fiber. The array also includes a second wavelength selective reflector coupled to the other end of each of the second sensor fiber and the second reference fiber. The second wavelength selective reflectors are operative at a wavelength different from an operative wavelength of the first wavelength selective reflectors.
