Sensing System
FBG
A cost-effective FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) interrogation system that includes a tunable laser diode, 6 photodiodes, and several fiber-optic couplers has been developed with very simple coniguration. Especially, it is not necessary to compensate the accurate wavelength because the wavelength sweeping is precisely performed in terms of the response time of which external cavity material is 5 msec. Moreover, time-varying temperature trends as well as spectra of FBGs can be observed through the front display.

Streak Camera
OptoScope S3C-1
The S3C-1 is a streak camera based on a semiconductor sensor. Like tube-based streak cameras, the S3C-1 captures changes in light along a line and records the change over time. To record the intensity values, they are sampled and stored with up to 2 GSamples/sec. The line is 65 µm wide and consists of 200 elements along its 5 mm length. Each element consists of a sensitive photodiode with a downstream amplifier.A new and special camera feature is continuous recording. This makes it possible to take recordings of events for which precise information about the time of their occurrence only becomes available after they have taken place. This "post-triggering" simplifies or allows certain applications.

Avalanche Photodiodes
These avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are silicon photodiodes with an internal gain mechanism. As with a conventional photodiode, absorption of incident photons creates electron-hole pairs. A high reverse bias voltage creates a strong internal electric field, which accelerates the electrons through the silicon crystal lattice and produces secondary electrons by impact ionization. The resulting electron avalanche can produce gain factors up to several hundred.
