Temperature desensitization of a fiber-optic pressure sensor by simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature.
A fiber-optic hydrostatic pressure sensor initially temperature compensated by optical means is further desensitized below the limits associated with second-order effects by the method proposed in this paper. We achieved this goal by using an integrated system of two coherence-multiplexed separate sensor components for simultaneous measurement of hydrostatic pressure and temperature and by on-line numerical processing of measurement data delivered simultaneously from both sensor parts. The system is based on highly birefringent fibers, employs electronic scanning, and can be used for quasi-static measurements.
