  • Principle of Fiber Bragg Grating Fixed Inclinometer

    Principle of Fiber Bragg Grating Fixed Inclinometer

    The sensor employs suspension sensing based on the plumb principle, using bearings to overcome mechanical friction caused by rigid fixation between the mass block and the cantilever, thereby improving sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor. Inclination monitoring plays a significant role in research on deformation monitoring of slopes, inclination monitoring of bridges, earthquake monitoring, and other areas of monitoring. Existing electromagnetic signal-based inclinometers face practical issues such as difficulty adapting to harsh. We demonstrate a new concept for an all-fiber inclinometer based on a tapered fiber Bragg grating (tFBG) in a fiber ring laser (FRL) with the capability of measuring the tilt angle and temperature simultaneously. The sensor performance is analyzed theoretically and investigated experimentally.
