Abstract
Long‐period gratings, which display sensitivity to ambient temperature variations, are proposed as sensors. Therefore, full temperature characterisation is essential. In this paper, the effects of temperature upon the spectral profiles of two sets of long period gratings (LPGs) of different periods are investigated. The results obtained show that the shorter‐period LPGs were found to be less sensitive than the longer‐period LPGS over identical temperature ranges. The coupling wavelength shifts due to temperature are also seen to be linear and in opposite directions in each set of LPGs. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We present a potential sensor head for the simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain based on the concatenation of two long‐period fiber gratings arc‐induced in different fibers. Despite being the temperature and strain sensitivities of the individual gratings well defined, we
## Abstract In this paper, we show that a complete three‐layer analysis is necessary to characterise the cladding modes in order to obtain grating period, resonances, and coupling length in the design of long‐period gratings (LPGs), and that the simplified two‐layer fiber geometry used by many auth

Surface temperature measurements are crucial in many applications; one promising approach is the use of thermographic phosphors. The temperatures of surfaces coated with such a material can easily be detected by measuring and evaluating the luminescence. In the present study, the CVD of chromium-dop
