Abstract
Disclosed is a measurement system using a fiber Bragg grating sensor, which includes a sensing unit including a plurality of dynamic sensors and static sensors using fiber Bragg gratings to detect mutually different physical quantities to be measured, an optical meter configured to measure each physical quantity by simultaneously processing data output from the plurality of dynamic sensors and static sensors in real time, and a server configured to store and manage the data measured by the optical meter. Mutually different physical quantities are measured by simultaneously processing the data output from the plurality of dynamic sensors and static sensors in real time by using one optical meter.
