Abstract: In view of the large difference in the intensity of single channel multi-grating reflection spectrum of demodulator, which leads to the failure of peak-seeking or the increase of peak-seeking error, a method of multiple exposure demodulation in different exposure cycles was proposed to adjust the peak value, and the peak-seeking threshold was determined according to the histogram of the spectral data. The influence of peak value of spectrum on the stability of peak-seeking was analyzed, the adaptive adjustment rules of exposure cycle and peak-seeking threshold were established, and the adaptive peak-seeking demodulation algorithm was realized by LabVIEW software. Through the actual fiber grating sensor test, the automatic exposure and peak-seeking demodulation of the reflection spectrum with large difference could be completed. On the premise of ensuring the peak-seeking stability, the number of spectral peak identification, the adaptive ability of the demodulation system and the working reliability were effectively improved. The experimental results show that the peak stability is the highest when the peak value is in the range of 70%-90% of the saturation intensity. The standard deviation of the center wavelength obtained by peak-seeking is within 0.5 pm, the stability is increased by 50% compared with single exposure demodulation, and the program running time is within 100 ms, which can realize fast demodulation.
