Long-period fiber gratings and their sensing applications

Long-period gratings (LPGs) in optical fibers for sensing are discussed, especially on strain and temperature sensing. Low-cost fabrication by a low-pressure mercury-lamp exposure was described. LPGs in high-birefringence fiber had high strain sensitivity.
