Abstract

The paper describes progress with two multiplexed methods which have been designed for strain sensing in optical fibres. Both methods depend, effectively, on monitoring changes in optical propagation velocity. They are therefore expected to be less affected by fibre bending and lateral pressure than systems based on polarimetry. Unlike complex interferometric systems, they do not require to reference fringe positions (the latter could have difficulty in fringe tracking under conditions of severe mechanical shock or vibration.
