Abstract

A sensor system includes an optical fiber. A set of wavelength shift sensors are inscribed on the optical fiber. The set includes at least one first wavelength shift sensor configured to reflect a first wavelength band of input light as a first optical output signal. The first wavelength shift sensor has a first value of an optical characteristic that modifies intensity of the first optical output signal. At least one second wavelength shift sensor is configured to reflect a second wavelength band of input light as a second optical output signal. The second wavelength shift sensor has a second value of the optical characteristic that modifies intensity of the second optical output signal, wherein the second value is different from the first value.
