Fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors: a review

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) pressure sensors have the potential to replace conventional voltage sensors due to their compact size, resistance to electromagnetic interference, excellent safety, distributed sensing, and numerous other intrinsic benefits. It is frequently employed in the domains of civil engineering, aerospace, and medicine. Our work examines two types of sensitized FBG pressure sensors, namely FBG pressure sensors with innately improved sensitivity and FBG pressure sensors with extrinsically increased sensitivity. Our work examines microstructured fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors and polymer fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors for FBG pressure sensors with innately heightened sensitivity. Our research examines metal-mechanical FBG pressure sensors and polymer-mechanical FBG pressure sensors for extrinsically sensitized FBG pressure sensors. This report also summarizes the benefits and drawbacks of various FBG pressure sensors and temperature compensation techniques. Finally, the future of FBG pressure sensors is examined.
