Based on spectral reflection characteristics of chirped FBGs, a demodulation method for complex temperature fields is proposed in this paper. Relationships between the reflective spectrums and the temperatures are investigated through theoretical analyses. Testing results are acquired from a FBG sensing model which is designed according to the newly-developed method. A simulation to get the relationships between reflective spectrums and temperatures is set which shows that this demodulation method is feasible and its demodulation precision is beyond +/−1°C. The method provides a new method for analyzing complex temperature fields.
