5.1         Axial strain field distribution measurements

5.1.4        Spectral responses

Fig. 5-9 Spectral intensity response calculated from the OLCR response (solid lines) and directly measured with a tunable laser (circles); the wavelength difference origin corresponds to the average Bragg wavelength lmc(F)

The Fig. 5-9 presents the spectral intensity response obtained for various loading forces (0 N corresponds to the measurement after the loading process and the relaxation rest). The wavelength difference is calculated from the average Bragg wavelength lmc(F). A very good agreement is observed between the spectral responses calculated from the OLCR data and measured with a tunable laser. The maximal reflectivity is two third smaller at 384 N than without load, while at the same time, the spectral range is broadened by factor of 3.5.
