The sensor interface includes a sensor, an optical fiber, a Bragg grating disposed on the optical fiber, and an optoelectronic circuit. The sensor communicates with the Bragg grating such that the sensor imposes a strain on the Bragg grating that is a function of the parameter sensed. The optoelectronic circuit reads the sensor by interrogating the Bragg grating with a light pulse carried by the optical fiber and detecting the timing and/or frequency of the light reflected by the Bragg grating. The timing and/or frequency of the light reflected is a function of the strain imposed on the Bragg grating.
