Abstract
This paper shows a multiplexing technique to maximize the application of a moire-fringe based fiber optic sensor to lots of structure. Especially, a novel fringe-based fiber optic sensor was proposed to overcome the difficulty of multiplexing of a previous moire-fringe-based fiber optic sensor. The novel fringe-based fiber optic sensor is composed of a single reflective fringe and two optical fibers. Therefore, the multiplexing is easily realized because of the simplicity of optic structure inside the sensor. This paper also proposed four models of the multiplexing techniques. The models are based on a wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique and a time division multiplexing(TDM) one. Basically, the models would be profitable for a general extrinsic fiber optic sensor such as the fringe-based fiber optic sensor. Finally, the real optic system was manufactured by using the proposed model and successfully examined to prove the feasibility of the model for the application.
