1. A device for measuring a change in an environment comprising:

  • a first optical fiber having a plurality of fiber Bragg gratings, wherein each of the fiber Bragg gratings has a different predetermined reflection wavelength;

    a broadband light source optically coupled to the optical fiber;

    a scanning filter optically coupled to optical fiber;

    an interferometer optically coupled to the scanning filter;

    a first photodetector generating a first output, wherein the first photodetector is optically coupled to the interferometer;

    a second photodetector generating a second output, wherein the second photodetector is optically coupled to the interferometer; and

    a third photodetector generating a third output, wherein the third photodetector is optically coupled to the interferometer.
