Article Abstract
Two types of series-integrated fiber Bragg gratings (SI-FBGs), i.e., strong and weak SI-FBGs, were inscribed in a standard single-mode fiber (SMF) using the femtosecond laser point-by-point technology. In the SI-FBGs inscribing system, the grating pitch of each FBG and the distance between the two adjacent FBGs in the SI-FBGs can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the inscription parameters. The strong SI-FBGs with different grating pitches and the weak SI-FBGs with an identical grating pitch were employed to successfully measure the temperature distribution in a tube furnace and the strain distribution on a cantilever beam, respectively. A high spatial resolution of less than 1 mm was achieved during the distributed temperature sensing experiment. Moreover, the spatial resolution could be improved by decreasing the distance between the two adjacent FBGs, i.e., decreasing the FBG length and the space between the two adjacent FBGs. Hence, the inscribed high-quality SI-FBGs have great potential to be developed as various quasi-distributed sensors with a high spatial resolution.

Article Synopsis
- A fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensor has been developed for measuring curvature using specialty optical fibers with gratings inscribed via femtosecond laser technology.
- The sensor utilizes two different gratings located in asymmetrical positions (one in the central core and one in the eccentric core) to analyze bending characteristics, achieving a sensitivity of 58 pm/m-1 over a curvature range from 0 to 50 m-1.
- This design minimizes temperature and humidity effects by comparing peak shifts between the two gratings, making it robust and suitable for engineering applications in curvature sensing.

Ocean temperature monitoring is of great significance to marine fishing, aquaculture, and marine operations. Traditional electric sensors lack the potential to multiplex several sensors, and may suffer from electromagnetic interference. Meanwhile, fiber Bragg grating-based sensors have the advantages of high sensitivity, possibility for large-scale multiplexing, and immunity to electromagnetic interference.

In this manuscript, an optically passive fiber Bragg grating (FBG) interrogation system able to perform high-frequency measurement is proposed. The idea is mainly based on the use of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) device which is used to discriminate the fiber optic sensor (FOS) wavelength encoded response under test in function of its output channels. As made clear by the theoretical model studied in the proposed manuscript, the Bragg wavelength shift can be detected as in linear dependence with the proposed interrogation function which changes with the voltage produced by two (or more) adjacent AWG output channels.

The center wavelength of each FBG and the grating spacing between adjacent FBGs are randomly varied within a controlled range. Due to the low reflectivity (<-45 dB) and RVCPs of the FBGs, the sensing array presents low spectral-shadowing crosstalk and multiple-reflection crosstalk, implying high FBG multiplexing capacity.
