Abstract :
A performance analysis of the effect of embedding an FBG sensor in an optical communications system is presented. The simulations considered focus on the effects on both the sensing and the communications systems. The effect of power levels of the interrogating optical source on the performance of the two systems is also investigated under different excitation levels. The results obtained show a good tolerance in terms of quality of transmission for the two systems.
