Abstract

This paper describes a novel optical fibre remote strain sensor which is based on the FMCW technique and consists of only one single piece of single-mode birefringent fibre. The lead-in and lead-out fibres which are simply separated from the strain sensing fibre by two short twisted fibre portions are insensitive to environmental changes so that the sensor can remotely detect the strain variation of a distant construction. Other advantages of the sensor, such as no fibre junctions, no feedback light, long sensing fibre, higher resolution (4 microstrain) and large dynamic measurement range (5000 microstrain) are demonstrated in this experiment.
