The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) liquid level sensor is designed to
measure the liquid level inside the sensor chamber. Referencing to a
same liquid level (of a liquid reservoir or reference sensor), a group
of such sensor interrogated simultaneously by a FBG interrogator can
construct a differential settlement measurement system for surface
settlement monitoring over a wide area.This system can measure
displacement resolution of as small as 50um.
This FBG liquid level sensor can be integrated with other FBGbased sensors with dedicated measurement capability to construct a
comprehensive fiber-based sensing network for multiple measurands
(displacement, strain, vibration, etc.).
