A new package for thermally compensating a fiber Bragg grating, which requires less accuracy in positioning the fiber onto the device, is discussed. Experiments show that it can reduce the shift in reflected wavelength from 1575 pm to 78 pm for a temperature change of 120 K. The deformation of the package showed no hysteresis, and the effective thermal compensation is repeatable over many cycles. Furthermore the package also has the potential to give non-linear thermal compensation for fiber Bragg gratings.

The paper presents the results of fiber Bragg gratings fabrication by femtosecond laser radiation using point-by-point and line-by-line inscription methods. The approach makes it possible to fabricate the second and higher diffraction orders fiber Bragg gratings, which can be used as sensitive elements of fiber-optic sensors.

The paper presents periodic structures in terms of metrological properties in the distinction for a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a constant and changeable period. The process of their formation and characteristics as well as applications in many areas have been described. On the basis of the literature, the results of research and measurements of measurable quantities such as temperature and stress made by periodic structures applied to the fiber of the optical fiber are presented. Analysis of the presented measurements allowed to mark the ranges and accuracy of measurements of individual applications.

Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg grating structures in typical communication fibers. Concerning fibers there is, for example., a need of achieving fiber gratings in small diameter fibers and fiber tapers as well as in microstructured fibers. Special fiber grating structures are of interest e.g. in the visible wavelength range, which requires smaller spatial structures compared to more conventional gratings in the near infrared wavelength region. Examples for such modern developments in fiber Bragg grating technology for sensor applications will be presented and discussed.

Seepage pressure is the pressure of pore fluid inside soil, which directly influences the stability state of engineering structure. A differential fiber Bragg grating seepage pressure sensor is developed, in which two fiber Bragg gratings are respectively pasted on the top and bottom surfaces of the uniform intensity cantilever. Acted as the seepage pressure measurement cavity, the free end of metal bellows is connected to the cantilever girder free end. Under the pressure of pore fluid function, the engender axial displacement of metal bellows is converted to the deflection change of cantilever girder free end, which generates the wavelength shifts of two pasted fiber Bragg gratings. The experiment results of pressure loading and unloading show that the sensitivity of the sensor is 1.96 nm/ MPa, the repeatability error is 2.27% FS, and the nonlinear error is 1.7% FS.

According to the Bragging equation, the general mathematical formulas of the temperature change error and the strain error are got under the consideration of the second-order temperature sensitivity and the second-order strain sensitivity. The two error curves are given in the conditions of T = 20°C and e = 1000me.
