Abstract:A new temperature sensing structure and packaging process for metal encapsulated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensors are proposed to address the issues of aging, creep, and other issues that may arise from long-term use of traditional adhesive encapsulated FBG temperature sensors. Strain insensitive design of the sensor was carried out using finite element analysis method. Glass solder was used instead of traditional epoxy resin adhesive to fix the FBG and stainless steel substrate through two-point welding, and a metal shell and silicone rubber were used for sealing protection. Within -20~55 ℃, the temperature sensitivity of the FBG temperature sensor is 27.46 pm/℃, and the linear fitting degree reaches 0.999. The temperature stability and repeatability are good. It has a measurement standard deviation of less than 0.003 ℃ in the large temperature range of 0~150 ℃, and maintains good temperature stability and repeatability. The sensor technology of this packaging structure is simple, low-cost, and easy to implement, and it has good application prospects in the field of structural health monitoring.
