In this paper we perform a simulation of fiber Bragg grating sensor with different grating lengths. It is shown that the grating length represents as one of the critical parameters in contributing to a high performance fiber Bragg grating sensor. The simulated fiber gratings with different lengths were analyzed and designed by calculating reflection and transmission spectra, and the bandwidth. Such simulations are based on solving coupled mode equations that describe the interaction of guided modes. The coupled mode equations are solved by the Transfer Matrix Method (a fundamental matrix method).

<p>Rock strains detection is one of the principal ways to monitor geohazards. Classic strainmeters are cumbersome, hard to install and very expensive. Opto-electronics devices based on fiber Bragg grating technology allow to realize strainmeters with high sensitivity, low-cost, small volume and high performance.<br>We present the long term result of continuous soil strain monitoring on the Etna mount by a three-axial fiber Bragg grating sensor. The sensor has been developed in the framework of European Project MED-SUV (MEDiterranean SUpersite Volcanos). The installation site is a 8.5 meters deep borehole at a distance of about 7 km South-West from the summit craters of the Etna mount, at an elevation of about 1740 meters. This kind of sensor has a resolution better than 100 nanostrains on a daily timescale. Despite it is only a prototype, the sensor has worked for four years with a duty-cycle higher than 90% detecting both fast event, as earthquakes, and slow event, as epochal rocks strain behavior.</p>
