Abstract

A three-parameter sensor based on a point-by-point fiber Bragg grating (PBP-FBG) is proposed. The fabricated sensor is 40 mm long. The spectrum loss at 1336.15 nm is selected to measure the surrounding liquid level. The sensitivity for liquid level sensing is −0.046 dB/mm. The temperature is measured using the Bragg dip shifts with sensitivity of 10.06 pm/ °C. The cut-off mode shift is used to measure the surrounding refractive index with sensitivity of 535.14 nm/RIU. As a benefit of femtosecond laser direct inscription fabrication, the grating length is controllable and the liquid level sensing range is expandable. This sensor provides a simple, reliable method for accurate liquid level, temperature and refractive index measurements in hazardous environments.
