VAZQUEZ-SANCHEZ, R.A. et al. Láser de fibra óptica compuesto por dos cavidades acopladas: aplicación como sensor de fibra óptica. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2004, vol.50, n.4, pp.374-378. ISSN 0035-001X.

We show an optical fiber laser sensor which consist of two cavities coupled and three fiber Bragg gratings. We used one Bragg grating (called reference) and two Bragg gratings (called sensors), which have the lower reflection wavelength. The reference grating with the two sensors grating make two cavities: first one is the internal cavity which has 4230 m of length and the another one is the external cavity which has 4277 m of length. Measuring the laser beating frequency for a resonance cavity and moving the frequency peaks when the another cavity is put in resonance, we prove that the arrangement can be used as a two points sensor for determining the difference of temperature or stress between these two points.

Keywords : Fiber lasers; fiber sensors; Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs); fiber Bragg gratings.
