Principle of Fiber Optic Grating Anemometer
A miniature all-optical fiber anemometer is constructed by using two FBGs to determine the dynamic thermal equilibrium between the laser heating and air flow cooling through monitoring the FBGs' central wavelengths. Abstract: A fiber-optic anemometer based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is presented. A short section of cobalt-doped fiber was utilized to make a fiber-based "hot wire" for wind speed measurement. One pair of gratings, which are separated by 90 in space, is fixed on a small stainless steel pipe driven by a rotating disc for.
