Abstract
In order to improve the performance of the fiber optic sensors and further reduce the size of them, a new integrated optical sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) in parallel with a long-period grating(LPG) in a single mode fiber is reported in this paper. The FBG and the LPG are fabricated by femtosecond laser using direct inscription process. The variations of temperature and refractive index will cause the variations of resonant wavelengths of FBG and LPG. The experimental results show that the refractive index sensitivities of the FBG and the LPG respectively are 0 nm/RIU and 196.46 nm/RIU, and the temperature sensitivities of them are 12.98 pm/℃ and 10.93 pm/℃ respectively. Therefore, this sensor can be used for measuring temperature and refractive index simultaneously according to the dual parameters sensing matrix.
