TL;DR: In this article, reflection gratings and out-coupling taps for sensors can be written holographically within the core of many commercial fibers available today, and the gratings appear to be permanent and have been tested to temperatures in excess of 500°C.
Abstract: Bragg reflection gratings and out-coupling taps for sensors can be written holographically within the core of many commercial fibers available today. The gratings appear to be permanent and have been tested to temperatures in excess of 500°C. Quasi-distributed temperature, strain, pressure, chemical, and interferometric sensors can be made with the wavelength selective, reflection gratings, and taps. The fiber gratings, and the different types of sensors they can make, conveniently lend themselves to (wavelength-division multiplexing) WDM, (time-division multiplexing) TDM, and (frequency-division multiplexing) FDM types of multiplexing schemes. Instrumentation to detect the multiple sensors and measure their spectral shift for localized and quasi-distributed sensing is currently under development.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of approaches reported in the literature for multi-parameter measurement relying on fiber grating technology is presented, and the particular case of temperature/strain simultaneous measurement is addressed in further detail, as well as the techniques and sensing heads for temperatureindependent strain measurement.
Abstract: In this article, approaches reported in the literature for multi-parameter measurement relying on fiber grating technology are reviewed. Due to its importance, the particular case of temperature/strain simultaneous measurement is addressed in further detail, as well as the techniques and sensing heads for temperature-independent strain measurement. Specific criteria are also proposed for sensing head classification in the context of multi-parameter measurement.

TL;DR: In this paper, an evanescent field refractive index fiber sensor comprising a 42mm Bragg grating in an etched fiber together with a tunable Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser was demonstrated.
Abstract: We have demonstrated an evanescent field refractive index fiber sensor comprising a 42-mm Bragg grating in an etched fiber together with a tunable Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser. Characterization of different aqueous sucrose solutions resulted in a resolution of roughly 10 mM sucrose. The sensor in the presented form has a theoretical sensitivity of higher than 10 -5 refractive index unit (riu) in a refractive index region close to the cladding index of the fiber. However, the technique allows for an even higher sensitivity than 10 -6 riu with a proper signal processing scheme.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of arc-induced LPGs and UV-induced fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) leads to sampled FBGs that are able to address sensing functionalities with enhanced performance.
Abstract: The electric arc technique allows the inscription of long-period gratings (LPGs) virtually in all types of fibers, including non-photosensitive fibers, the case of non-Ge–doped photonic crystal fibers being of particular interest. LPGs written in standard fibers using this technique have shown a high thermal stability. Also, the resistance to γ-radiation of LPGs arc-induced in pure-silica-core fibers is being assessed and the achieved results are very promising. We have also demonstrated that the combination of arc-induced LPGs and UV-induced fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) leads to sampled FBGs that are able to address sensing functionalities with enhanced performance. Therefore, as a result of their properties, gratings induced by arc-discharges can find a wide range of applications in optical communications as well as in fiber sensing.
