Abstract
We propose a new structure of optical fiber temperature sensor with cascaded long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) and investigate the temperature dependent loss of cascaded LFPGs. Each of the cascaded LPFGs has the same resonance wavelength with the same temperature change, because the cascaded LPFGs are made of a heat-shrinkable tube and a screw. The total resonance loss of proposed cascaded LPFGs shows higher temperature sensitivity than that of a single LPFG. The thermal coefficient of 4-cascaded LPFG also shows more than 4 times larger than that of a single one.
