Abstract
Over the last few years, optical fiber sensors have seen increased acceptance and
widespread use for a variety of applications ranging from structural sensing and health monitoring
of composites and structures in civil and aeronautic areas; to pressure and temperature sensors for
oil and gas reservoir monitoring to name just a few. Among them Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based
sensors have become widely known and popular within and out the photonics community and seen
a rise in their utilization and commercial growth. Given the capability of FBGs to measure a multitude
of parameters such as strain, temperature, pressure, chemical and bio-logical agents and many
others coupled with their flexibility of design to be used as single point or multi-point sensing
arrays and their relative low cost, make them ideal devices to be adopted for a multitude of different
sensing applications and implemented in different fields and industries. This work first focuses on
some recent experiences in the use of FBGs for opto-acoustic sensors and railway monitoring and
then reviews the advances in the area of FBGs evanescent wave sensors as valuable technological
platforms for chemical and biological applications.
