<p>Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for detecting intrusion by using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. the apparatus includes a measurement system, an optical fiber for transmitting and detecting optical signals, and a plurality of FBG sensors installed in intrusion detection areas together with the optical fiber and representing reflective wavelengths different from each other. The method includes the steps of installing the optical fiber and the FBG sensors in predetermined intrusion areas, continuously measuring wavelength variation or wavelength intensity of the optical fiber by using the measurement system, and comparing the measured wavelength variation or measured wavelength intensity of the optical fiber with a reference value, thereby determining intrusion of an intruder. Since the apparatus includes the optical switch and the optical distributor, the system establishment cost is reduced, the intrusion detection area is enlarged, and plural independent intrusion detection areas are formed.</p> |
