Abstract
A wavelength encoded liquid level switch and its fabrication is experimentally demonstrated using two inline fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). Cladding of one FBG is removed by etching and it makes the FBG to be refractive index sensitive. Thus FBG became an on-off switch sensor to control the liquid level. Another FBG is used for temperature compensation. The sensor has good repeatability.
