Abstract

An optical sensor having dual resonant long period gratings (DRLPGs) separated by an inter-grating fiber spacing IGS of a length and material to provide temperature insensitivity over a wide wavelength range. The materials of the IGS and DRLPGs are such that the difference between the dn/dT of the core and the dn/dT of the cladding in the IGS is opposite in sign to that of the DRLPGs. The DRLPGs and the IGS are also composed of materials and have dimensions such that the turn-around points λ, as well as the general functional form of the respective spectral variation of their propagation constant difference Δβ versus wavelength are substantially similar.
