Self-healing FBG sensor network fault-detection based on a multi-class SVM algorithm.

We propose a three-layer ring architecture with enhanced reconfigurable capabilities for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor networks. The proposed network is capable of self-healing when three fiber links fail. In addition to self-healing, soft faults in the FBG sensors can be detected using a multi-classification support vector machine (multi-class SVM) algorithm.

Recognition and localization of asymmetric spectra in FBG sensing networks.

We propose a deep learning demodulation method based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing networks. Interestingly, we find that both low demodulation error and distorted spectrum recognition are realized using the proposed LSTM-based method. Compared with conventional demodulation methods, including Gaussian-fitting, convolutional neural network, and the gated recurrent unit, the proposed method improves the demodulation accuracy being close to 1 pm and achieves a demodulation time of 0.
