Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are widely used in optical sensing, telecommunications, and medical applications due to their ability to reflect specific wavelengths and detect environmental changes. Optical SensingFBGs are extensively used as sensors for strain, temperature, and pressure. The periodic variations in the fiber core reflect a specific Bragg wavelength, which shifts in response to external changes.

This property allows FBGs to monitor structural health in bridges, tunnels, dams, and buildings, providing real-time data on strain, vibration, and temperature for safety and maintenance purposes. They are also employed in aerospace to monitor stress and deformation in aircraft components and in the energy sector for pipeline monitoring.

Telecommunications

In optical communications, FBGs serve as inline optical filters, dispersion compensators, and wavelength-specific reflectors. They can selectively reflect certain wavelengths while transmitting others, making them useful for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, narrow-linewidth fiber lasers, and pulse compression in high-speed networks. Medical ApplicationsFBGs are applied in biosensing and imaging.

Their high sensitivity allows detection of biomarkers and other biological molecules. They are also used in optical coherence tomography (OCT) and other imaging techniques, providing precise measurements in compact, minimally invasive setups. AdvantagesFBGs offer compactness, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and multiplexing capabilities, allowing multiple sensors along a single fiber.

They are durable, lightweight, and capable of operating in harsh environments, making them suitable for civil engineering, aerospace, energy, and medical applications. In summary, fiber Bragg gratings are versatile tools used for structural monitoring, optical filtering, telecommunications, and medical sensing, leveraging their wavelength-selective reflection and sensitivity to environmental changes.

The primary application of fiber Bragg gratings is in optical communications systems. They are specifically used as notch filters. They are also used in optical multiplexers and demultiplexers with an optical circulator, or optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM). Figure 5 shows 4 channels, depicted as 4 colours, impinging onto a FBG via an optical circulator. The FBG is set to reflect one of the channels, here channel 4. The signal is reflected back to the circulator where it is directed down and dropped ou
