There are two principal methods of distributed strain or temperature sensing; (i) monitoring the Brillouin or Raman light backscattered from an optical fiber (DSS/DTS), or (ii) measuring the wavelengths reflected from an array of multiple fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs). Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have emerged as advanced tools for monitoring a wide range of physical parameters in various fields, including structural health, aerospace, biochemical, and environmental applications. Temperature measurement is crucial for many industrial processes and monitoring tasks. Most of these measurement tasks can be carried out using conventional electric temperature sensors, but with limitations.

In the deformation monitoring of steel structure engineering, the fiber Bragg grating flexible sensor (FBGFS) is an emerging technology widely used in various monitoring fields, with advantages such as sensitivity, stability, and resistance to electrical interference . This review presents a comprehensive analysis of fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensing technologies as a promising solution for deformation monitoring in space infrastructure. In this paper, a monitoring method of structural vibration deformation based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) strainmeter array and accelerometer array is proposed for two different cases of whether the structure surface can be directly pasted with FBGs.

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.
