Sensitivity of Long-Period Fiber Bragg Gratings
8 nm/°C in the range of 5–30 °C was achieved for this new sensor, and the resolution is about 0. 00026 °C, which is over 20 times higher than ordinary temperature sensors. This article explains what fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are: periodic modulations of the refractive index in a fiber core which reflect a narrow wavelength band according to the Bragg condition λ = 2 n eff Λ. The proposed sensor includes several sensing heads, each of which is composed of a long-period grating (LPG) and a fiber Bragg grating. Small-period long-period gratings (SP-LPGs) allow the excitation of higher-order cladding modes, providing enhanced sensitivity and improved.
