Abstract

A multi long-period grating (multi-LPG) sensor has been proposed for distributed sensing. To fabricate the multi-LPG sensor, a carved LPG has also been proposed for easy fabrication of the multi-LPGs with different resonant wavelengths in a similar loss spectrum. The 2-LPG sensor was fabricated in a fiber successfully, containing carved and uncarved LPGs. The resonant wavelength shift was 64 nm by the carving. The temperature dependence of the resonant wavelength was 0.11 nm/deg, and the temperature distributed sensing was demonstrated to be possible by the 2-LPG sensor.
