In this work, we investigate the sensing performance of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs). Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology is one of the most popular choices for optical fiber sensors for strain or temperature measurements due to their simple manufacture, as we will see later on, and due to the relatively strong reflected signal. FBG sensors offer advantages such as small size.
