## Abstract In this study, we experimentally demonstrated that the concentrations of ammonia (NH~3~) gas can be detected by a fiber sensor based on the poly‐aniline (PANI) sensing film coated on the surface of an etched superstructure fiber Bragg grating (SFBG). This sensing mechanism is based on t

Abstract
A fiber sensor based on an etched superstructure fiber Bragg grating coated with the thin film of sol–gel is used for measuring the relative humidity. The operation mechanism of this sensor is based on that sol–gel materials can react with H~2~O molecules to result in its reflective index change and then to cause both Bragg wavelength shift. The diameter of the superstructure fiber Bragg grating is etched down to 20 μm for obtaining the sensitivity of 0.014 nm/1%RH. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A simple refractive‐index fiber sensor based on a tilted Bragg fiber grating (TFBG) interacting with multimode fiber (MMF) is described. The sensor structure is formed by insertion of a small section of MMF between the single‐mode fiber and the TFBG. The average reflective power in the
