Simulation Software for an Optical FBG Sensor Applied in Flow Measurements

This paper presents a software developed in Python
^®
which is applied for automating an optical Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) sensor calibration. By setting initial parameters and combining them with environment-captured data, the software is capable of auto-calibrating the probe, determining more precisely the FBG’s position inside the fiber. Besides that the routines may be applied for designing new probes.
