In weak signal environments, extracting accurate grating center wavelengths is a significant challenge, as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) directly impacts demodulation accuracy. The primary goal is to enhance the SNR of the FBG reflection spectrum to ensure reliable wavelength detection.

To achieve accurate grating center wavelength extraction in such conditions, several technical considerations and approaches are crucial:

1. **Improve Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR):**

2. **Advanced Signal Processing Algorithms:**

3. **Interrogator Resolution and Accuracy:**
