Abstract

A discrete liquid level sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that is suitable for liquid level monitoring is proposed. FBG (fiber Bragg grating) is embedded in a cantilever beam which is made of carbon fiber composite. And an iron sheet is bonded with the end of cantilever beam. For the float, a magnet is bonded with the float. When the liquid level rises or fall, the float will move up or down. The cantilever beam will bend downward or upward, it will induce strain on the FBG. Therefore, the Bragg wavelength of FBG will shift. An extra reference grating was utilized for temperature compensation.
