Abstract

FBG sensors are mainly used to measure strain and temperature of structures. In this paper, an interrogator of FBG sensors is developed and implemented to measure the crack of structures using FPGA and DSP. Developed interrogator consists of an optical source, an optical circulator, an optical grating and a CCD sensor and controller. The spectrum of the reflected light from the FBG sensor is analyzed and peak wavelength is detected. Next, strain of structure can be measured using shift of peak wavelength. Centroid algorithm and Gaussian fitting which are mainly applied to detect peak wavelength of the interrogator are compared in this paper. As a result of experiment, Gaussian fitting is suitable for a developed interrogator.

FBG센서는 구조물의 변형과 온도 측정에 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FBG센서를 이용하여 균열을 측정하기 위하여 FPGA와 DSP를 이용하여 인테로게이터를 개발 구현하였다. 개발한 인테로게이터는 광원, 광서큘레이터, 광그레이팅 그리고 CCD센서 및 제어기로 구성된다. FBG센서로부터 반사된 광원의 스펙트럼을 분석하여 피크 파장를 검출하고 피크 파장의 변이를 이용하여 구조물의 변형 정도를 측정한다. 본 논문에서는 FBG센서 인테로게이터의 피크 검출 알고리즘에 주로 적용하는 중심점 알고리즘과 Gaussian 근사법을 비교한다. Gaussian 근사법에 개발한 인테로게이터에 적합함을 실험을 통하여 확인한다.
