Abstract
We demonstrate a novel optical correlator for multiwavelength header recognition employing arrays of fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs). One FBG array is used to appropriately delay the entire different header wavelengths, and the others are used as a header bank, in which each one is designed with a different wavelength profile. The proof of principle of the optical correlator is experimentally demonstrated and verified for 4βbit header patterns at 2.27 Gb/s. Β© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A new multiplexing scheme of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) sensing system is presented. Each sensing element is a pair of identical FBGs, with one working as sensing FBG and the other working as a reference. Multiplexing of the FBG pairs is achieved based on optical low coherence technolo
