Optical fiber sensing set up for river monitoring model / Izzat Syahmi Pauzi

This paper presents optical fiber sensing set up for long distance river monitoring model. The fiber optic system can continuously monitor water quality parameters along the river in real time. In recent years, fiber optic technology is widely used for communication system but not for sensing application. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a model equipped with optical fiber network that can be applied to long distance river monitoring. The scope of work is focused on the wavelength detection set up for optical fiber sensing application and development of light source. The project methodology is mainly covers measurement set up of fiber bragg grating(FBG), development of amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) light source and overall system set up for long distance river monitoring. To illustrate the functionality, the light signal is transmitted into optical fiber network with FBG sensors at different sites connected along the network.
