Abstract

Taguchi approach is a method where statistical analysis is performed to improve the quality of manufactured goods. This method reduce time and cost and gives the optimized analysis same as thousands of experiments’ results. In this project, a low cost sensor based on FBG sensor was designed and optimized by Taguchi method. The influence of design parameters variations was analysed and finally, the best setting of design parameters was obtained. This experiment was conducted under wavelength of 1550nm with the aim to studying the relationship of the design parameter to the wavelength shift and also the power received. The most optimized condition was identified and compared with the actual experiment. Confirmation test was performed to check the validity of the proposed optimized parameters and this result was implied using the Minitab Software. Upon completion, it was found to be the best parameter setting is 30℃, 60mm of bending and 1.3331 RI. The highest output power from confirmed experiment is 7.950 μW and wavelength shift of 1550.110nm. From this, the SNR is calculated which is 20.0189 while from the Taguchi, the expected SNR is 21.4346. Thus, the difference between the predicted value from Taguchi and from the actual experiment is 6.83%. Therefore, the Taguchi approach is proven as a great tool, giving great impact on economy, society and environment.
