Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for tracking the peaks in the FBG spectrum using the Gaussian polynomial method. The proposed algorithm involves preprocessing the FBG signal, detecting the peaks, and fitting the peaks with a Gaussian function. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using both simulated and experimental FBG spectra. This method involves fitting a Gaussian function to the peak of interest and using the fitted parameters to estimate peak height, width, and location. The method is highly accurate and precise and can provide detailed information about peak shape and position, making it effective for tracking complex or overlapping peaks. However, the method can be computationally intensive and may require careful selection of initial parameters to ensure accurate results. Despite these limitations, the Gaussian polynomial method is a powerful tool for peak tracking and analysis in various application.

Abstract

Early detection and accurate monitoring of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at low concentrations are essential for industrial safety, environmental monitoring, and greenhouse gas mitigation. Conventional gas sensors, including electrochemical and semiconductor types, suffer from environmental sensitivity, frequent calibration needs, and limited long-term stability. Therefore, more stable, sensitive, and intrinsically safe sensing technologies are required, especially for high-risk environments. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors offer key advantages as passive optical devices that are immune to electromagnetic interference, compact, and capable of multiplexed operation. This study presents the design and characterization of a graphene-coated FBG sensor for low-concentration CH4 and CO2 detection. The FBG was fabricated using the phase mask technique, followed by cladding etching to enhance evanescent field interaction with the surrounding medium. A graphene layer was synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and transferred onto the etched fiber surface to serve as the active sensing layer. Gas adsorption on graphene induces refractive index variations, producing measurable Bragg wavelength shifts monitored by a high-resolution optical interrogator. Experiments were conducted at concentrations up to 100 ppm under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Results show sensitivities of 12.4 pm/100 ppm for CO2 and 9.7 pm/100 ppm for CH4, with strong linearity (R2 > 0.98), fast response time (< 15 s), low hysteresis, and good long-term stability. The proposed FBG-graphene sensor demonstrates strong potential for reliable real-time gas monitoring in industrial and environmental applications.
