A fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based multi-point sensing system for the simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature is proposed, with a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) consisting of low reflective FBGs inscribed inside a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber is introduced as a sensor head. A multi-point sensing method with high dynamic range and short measurement time can be realized by analyzing the reflection spectrum of low reflective FBG-FPIs, and a simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature using two orthogonal polarization modes is enabled by the high birefringence of a PM fiber. An experimental demonstration of multi-point measurement utilizing the proposed system is reported.
