Abstract
An FBG sensor system which has a wavelength-tunable light source for emitting light wavelength-swept at a predetermined sweep period, a photodetector for receiving reflected light of measurement light directed to be incident on an optical fiber including an FBC, a processing unit for measuring the wavelength of the reflected light received by the photodetector, and optical pulse generator means that generates a pulse having a predetermined period in synchronism with the sweep period in order that the light from the wavelength-tunable light source is converted into an optical pulse. The sweep period is such that a receipt time of the reflected light in the photodetector is after termination of incidence of the optical pulse on the optical fiber. The predetermined period of the pulse is such that an incidence time for a next optical pulse is after the receipt of the reflected light in the photodetector.
