The sensing assembly consists of an <em>fs<\/em> laser inscribed reference mirror and a sensing array of equidistantly positioned mirrors. Utilization of the reference mirror and proper sensor geometry selection provides the possibility for a high-resolution spectral interrogation of the sensing array while relying on an ordinary, cost-effective distributed feedback (DFB) telecom laser diode. Beside the telecom DFB diode, the entire interrogation system includes only an additional detector, optical coupler, analog interface and a microcontroller. Measurement resolution better than 1 \u00b5<em>\u03b5<\/em> was demonstrated experimentally at a sampling rate exceeding 65 samples per second, while utilizing a sensing device with a typical length of 50\u00a0<em>mm<\/em> and spatial resolution of approximately 2\u00a0<em>mm.<\/em> To demonstrate the application potential of the proposed measuring device, a few different packages and sensor configurations were demonstrated and tested, including a system for tactile sensing applications and a short-range quasi-distributed temperature measurement probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optics &amp; Laser Technology  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/journal\/optics-and-laser-technology\/vol\/181\/part\/PC\">Volume 181, Part C<\/a>, February 2025, 111919<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.optlastec.2024.111919\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.optlastec.2024.111919<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"667\" height=\"376\" data-id=\"1352\"  src=\"https:\/\/au.feri.um.si\/leoss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/quasidistributed-jj.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/au.feri.um.si\/leoss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/quasidistributed-jj.jpg 667w, https:\/\/au.feri.um.si\/leoss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/quasidistributed-jj-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/au.feri.um.si\/leoss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/quasidistributed-jj-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/au.feri.um.si\/leoss\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/quasidistributed-jj-360x203.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article presents a short-range fiber-optic quasi-distributed sensing device suitable for strain and temperature measurement.
