1.1 General Information
The HBM FiberSensing Portable BraggMETER is a con­
tinuous swept laser scanning interrogator designed to
interrogate Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors.
The interrogator includes a NIST traceable wavelength
reference that provides continuous calibration to ensure
system accuracy over long term operation. The high
dynamic range and high output power allows high resolu­
tion to be attained even for long fiber leads and lossy
connections.
Its high dynamic range and broadband tuning range com­
bined with the available 4 optical channels makes this
interrogator particularly suitable for large scale sensing
networks, acquiring a large number of sensors, providing
an acquisition rate of 1S/s with 1 pm resolution.
