Abstract

We propose an efficient method for FBG peak detection based on matched filtering technique. The matched filtering process is based on resonance point estimation between a standard reference spectral signal and a reflected spectrum of FBG. The desired peak wavelength and corresponding peak intensity are predicted by determining the cross-correlation between the FBG signal and derivative of the reference signal. The peak wavelength and intensity are found from the zero-crossing points of the cross-correlation function. The Mexican-hat wavelet function is chosen as the reference spectral signal due to its narrow shape. The proposed method has been experimentally verified for isolated as well as overlapped FBG spectrum. The proposed algorithm can suitably be used for multiple peak detection when several FBGs are cascaded and if the FBG signal is weak and noisy.
