Abstract
An optical fibre sensor 11 has two monomode cores 13,14 arranged in a common cladding 15 to allow cross-talk of optical signals between the cores as a function of strain, temperature and optical wavelength. Optical signals are generated by a generator 16 at two wavelengths, at one of which cross-talk between the cores 13,14 is temperature independent. The generated optical signals are injected into the element 11 via an optical fibre lead 18 having a single monomode core 19 which is connected to one of the cores 13 of the element 11 at one end thereof and after cross-talk between the cores, optical signals are extracted from the element, for example via the same lead 18, and processed to determine temperature and strain at the element.
