Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a multiplexed fiber-optic sensor system using a dual-slope (triangular) frequency-modulated laser source. The restrictions in the selection of beat frequencies of the multiplexed sensors in previous studies that employed ramp modulation wave forms are eliminated.
