This review provides a comprehensive overview of FBG sensor technology, focusing on their operating principles, key advantages such as high sensitivity and immunity to electromagnetic interference, and common challenges like temperature-strain cross-sensitivity and the high cost of. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have emerged as advanced tools for monitoring a wide range of physical parameters in various fields, including structural health, aerospace, biochemical, and environmental applications. Following are the drawbacks or disadvantages of a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensor: It is thermally sensitive. It is difficult to discriminate wavelength shift due to temperature and strain separately.

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) optical sensors are state-of-the-art technology that can be integrated into the road structure, providing real-time traffic-induced strain readings and ensuring the monitoring of the road's structural health. This paper presents the installation and use of an innovative pavement monitoring system, which was developed to measure the effects of vehicle loads and temperature on the performance of a pavement structure. The sensors demonstrate superior sensitivity combined with extended durability features alongside their ability to resist. Bobrovs 1Institute of Telecommunications, Riga Technical University, Riga, Latvia. The novelty of this study is to modernize fiber sensors based on FBG so that they display deformation, stress and displacement, temperature and other parameters with much greater accuracy, which would provide a reliable scientific basis for modifying the theory, as well as the use of a fiber sensor.

Fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, for which the working principle and main features are presented further below in this paper, can be made by the deposition of a hygroscopic swelling material on the fibre. In this work, we report novel relative humidity sensors realized by functionalising fibre Bragg gratings with chitosan, a moisture-sensitive biopolymer never used before for this kind of fibre optic sensor. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology in seismology, transforming fiber-optic cables into dense, cost-effective seismic monitoring arrays. DAS makes use of Rayleigh backscattering to detect and measure dynamic strain and vibrations over. As the seismological community embraces fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), DAS arrays are becoming a logical, scalable option to obtain strain and ground-motion data for which the installation of seismometers is not easy or cheap, such as in dense off- shore arrays. It can change the way we measure a variety of signals, from ground motion to animal sounds, in real time. The National Seismic Network is working on the use of fibre optic cables to detect earthquakes and tsunamis in real time, study the structure of the shallow crust, and explore other potential applications of interest in the field of seismology.
