摘要

This invention pertains to a passive, temperature compensated tunable filter calibration device for a Bragg grating interrogation system. In a first system, a dual-substrate Bragg grating calibration system, the temperature of an array of gratings is estimated using an array of gratings bonded to a common host substrate and a single grating bonded to a material with a different coefficient of thermal expansion. Changes in a common temperature of the substrates is measured by monitoring the difference between shifts of grating wavelength. As a filter voltage is scanned from its lowest to its highest voltage, the voltages are recorded. The second lowest wavelength corresponds to the grating attached to the differing substrate. The voltages are used to calculate a voltage-to-wavelength function for the scanning range of the filter. To compensate for variations in a calibration curve and temperature variations of the calibration array, the temperature is estimated and function re- calculated at every pass of the scanning filter. In a second system, a hydrogen- cyanide wavelength reference absorption cell that absorbs light at discrete wavelengths corresponding to the molecular vibrational mode frequencies of the gas. With a broadband optical light input to the cell, the output displays the spectrum of the input with several narrow dips in the spectra corresponding to the absorption lines of the cell. A first photodetector sees the transmission spectrum and a second sees the reflections from Bragg gratings in a sensing array. The filter drive voltages that coincide with the dips of the transmission spectrum are used to calibrate the voltage-to-wavelength function of the scanning filter. In this system there is no temperature compensation step as the absorption lines are not sensitive to temperature.
