Abstract

Abstract Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been extensively used for single-point and multi-point measurements, mostly inscribed in single-mode fibers (SMFs). However, it is feasible to inscribe FBGs in multimode fibers (MMFs), which resist bending and can perform discriminative sensing of multiple physical parameters. When using a simple experimental setup to measure the temperature dependence of the dip in the transmission spectrum, significant fluctuations in its spectral power can be observed. Therefore, this study shows that the temperature-dependent spectral power fluctuations in multimode FBGs can be mitigated using a reflectometric configuration with suppressed modal interference, leading to higher-reliability temperature sensing.
