APPLICATIONS
The k-Scan Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) interrogation system is a
multi-channel, multi-grating instrument, with world leading sensor
update rate capability. As such, it is particularly suited to
applications involving high bandwidth events (such as impulsive or
vibrational phenomena) although its excellent long term stability
makes it equally applicable to low frequency measurements. Typical
applications include
- superconducting magnet research
- wind turbine monitoring
- hull stress measurements in advanced composite vessel
- bridge monitoring
- aerospace composites
- offshore structural analysis
DESCRIPTION
The k-Scan system is based on a highly stabilised and compensated
wide bandwidth optical source coupled to an agile MEMS tunable
optical filter. The filter response is customised and controlled by
a dedicated digital signal processing system, (which runs in a PC)
which also provides for the capture and interpretation of the sensor
data. LabVIEW routines are provided for system setup and data
capture and display, which can easily be customised for specific
applications. The instrument, which is provided with an external DC
power supply, is housed in a 3U 19” rack chassis, which can be
mounted in a 19” rack frame or instrument case.
