A high sensitive pressure sensor based on Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) integrated with a thin metal diaphragm was
designed and demonstrated. To enhance the pressure sensitivity FBG is firmly glued across the diameter of the
diaphragm. Under pressure, the diaphragm deforms and produces an induced strain along the length of the fiber causes
shift in Bragg wavelength of the FBG. Pressure measurement is made by measuring the Bragg wavelength shift against
change in pressure. The sensor was tested up to the maximum pressure of 140 psi and the corresponding pressure
sensitivity was found to be 0.0204 nm/psi, which is approximately 970 times higher than that can be achieved with a
bare FBG. The experimental results show good agreement with the theoretical results and possess good linearity and
repeatability. This sensor can be used for the measurement of medium pressure, liquid level and depth of underwater.
