The technique is based on the extraction of the temperature profile of the fiber by using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array. We propose here a liquid level sensor using a long period fiber grating (LPFG) in which direct liquid level measurement is carried out by utilising an LPFG, 100mm in length and a periodicity of 1mm. The LPFG was exposed to liquids with varying levels and the wavelength shift of a selected loss band.

The fiber optic grating sensor structure is very simple and can achieve a small size. It is also characterized by high reliability, high accuracy, strong waterproof performance, and high sensitivity. It can be used to sense and measure physical quantities such as stress, strain or temperature with high sensitivity and measurement range. Fiber Bragg grating has embraced the area of fiber optics since the early days of its discovery, and most fiber optic sensor systems today make use of fiber Bragg grating technology. Following the early work on the formation of photogenerated gratings in germanosilicate optical fiber by sustained exposure of the core to the interfer ence pattern produced by oppositely propagating modes of argon-ion laser radiation that was first reported in 1978 (HilI et al.

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) exhibits strong resistance to electromagnetic interference and excellent linear strain response, making it highly promising for structural health monitoring (SHM) in pavement. This research investigates the strain transfer characteristics of embedded FBG in pavement. This research focuses on a desensitization method to develop a wide-range FBG sensor for extra-large strain monitoring, which is an essential requirement in large scale infrastructures or for some special occasions.
