Fibre Bragg grating (FBG) pressure sensor has shown great potential in replacing the conventional electrical pressure sensor due to its adaptability to the harsh environment. However, increasing its resolution for low-pressure measurement is still a challenge. In this work, the bonding of FBG to a rubber-based diaphragm pressure transducer was proposed. The proposed pressure transducer had enhanced the sensitivity to 117.7 pm/kPa across the range of 40 kPa, which corresponded to the pressure resolution of 0.008 kPa. Furthermore, the proposed pressure transducer possessed a reference FBG for temperature compensation, where the overall temperature effect was less than 1%.

This paper discusses the stability of a piezoresistive, LTCC-based, pressure sensor that was designed for measurements in a low-pressure range below 100 mbar. The intrinsic stability of the sensor's offset was evaluated at a constant ambient temperature and different conditions regarding the atmospheric humidity. The sensors were also subjected to functional fatigue tests, which included a full-scale and an overload pressure cycling. The results of the fatigue testing revealed the vulnerability of the sensor's structure from the point of view of the long-term stability and the life-cycle. Nevertheless, the stability of the key characteristics of the prototype sensors was found to be satisfactory for accurate measurements in the low-pressure ranges.
