This article proposes a complete framework for the manufacturing and dual-parameter demodulation of sensor systems consisting of cascaded fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs). The proposed system aims to enable simultaneous interrogation of the external strain and temperature using a machine learning (ML) technique, with limited data availability and without requiring an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). The system converts the sensing signals of a cascaded FBG-FPI sensor into changes in the transmitted optical intensity across multiple channels of the array waveguide grating (AWG). By inputting the transmitted optical intensity and wavelength shift data into a neural network, an intricate nonlinear relationship is established, which enables precise interrogation of the peak wavelength. Furthermore, to overcome the common limitation of insufficient data in data-driven models, we introduce a high-performance data augmentation method that utilizes a generative adversarial network (GAN) to rapidly augment the dataset during the training process. Extensive experiments using a real-world dataset generated in an industrial optical fiber sensing scenario demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed framework.
