    • A method for interrogating at least one optical fiber sensor of the Fiber Bragg Grating type FBG is described. The method comprises the steps of: lighting the optical fiber sensor of the Fiber Bragg Grating type FBG with a broadband excitation optical radiation OA; conveying the optical spectrum transmitted OT or reflected OR by the optical fiber sensor FBG to at least one tunable optical bandpass filter BPF having a first extraction port 1 and a second transmission port 2, which are complementary to each other; tuning the optical bandpass filter BPF at a constant operating wavelength, depending on the nominal operating wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating of the FBG sensor; detecting a respective first optical signal L1 exiting the first extraction port 1 of the optical bandpass filter; converting, by means of a first opto-electronic receiver PD1, the aforesaid first optical signal L1 into a respective first electrical signal E1, representative of a wavelength shift Ah, with respect to the nominal operating wavelength, of the spectrum reflected or transmitted by the Bragg grating of the FBG optical fiber sensor. The method then comprises the steps of detecting a second optical signal L2, exiting the second transmission port 2 of the optical bandpass filter BPF, spectrally complementary to the first optical signal L1; and converting this second optical signal L2, by means of a second opto-electronic receiver PDT, into a respective second electrical signal E2, representative of an optical reference power, which is substantially independent of the filtering wavelength, and having a dependence on the power of the broadband excitation optical radiation, and on the losses of the overall optical path, equal to the dependence undergone by the respective first electrical signal E1. The method includes determining the wavelength shift Ah, with respect to the nominal operating wavelength, of the spectrum reflected or transmitted by the optical fiber sensor FBG, based on the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal detected, in such a way that the detection of the first electrical signal is compensated for with respect to variations of optical radiation power and variations in loss on the optical path. A corresponding system for interrogating at least one optical fiber sensor of the Fiber Bragg Grating type FBG is also described, wherein the aforesaid optical bandpass filter BPF and the aforesaid first and second opto-electronic receiver PD1, PDT are integrated in a photonic integrated circuit ("Photonic Integrated Circuit" - PIC).
