A method and apparatus for compensating for systematic error in a wavelength measuring device that provides values for the wavelengths reflected from one or more optical fibers in which fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) serve as sensors. A high-precision temperature sensing and measuring circuit is used to measure the temperature of a reference FBG that also provides light at some wavelength to the wavelength measuring device. The wavelength reflected by the reference FBG changes with temperature in a way that is known. The (value of) the wavelength being reflected from the reference FBG is then provided to a dynamic compensator, which also receives the wavelengths of light reflected from the sensor FBGs, and the dynamic compensator adjusts the wavelengths of the sensor FBGs using a correction based on the correction required to adjust the value of the wavelength of the reference FBG as measured by the wavelength measuring device. |
