Long Period Fiber Grating (LPFG) sensors have wide range of potential applications; low-cost and high-sensitivity demodulation technology is the key of its practical applications. In this paper, an interferometer is comprised of an all-fiber loop mirror and two identical LPFGs, a tunable F-P filter is used to perform wavelength scanning one of the interference peaks, two negative pulse interval formed by signal light in the drive signal period are measured by means of detector and oscilloscope to realize signal demodulation. This demodulation system was used to detect the temperature parameter. The results showed that the sensing sensitivity of this system was demonstrated to be 0.08349 ms/°C, experimentally, which was 2.3 times higher than a single LPFG using the same demodulation technology.

We demonstrate a simple and highly sensitive optical fiber relative humidity (RH) sensor based on a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films. The resonance wavelength of the LPFG is sensitive to environmental humidity due to the change in effective refractive index caused by the strong surface absorption and desorption of the porous PEG/PVA coatings. The sensor is sensitive in a wide range from 50% to 95% RH, with a highest sensitivity of 2.485 nm/%RH in the range 50–75% RH. The proposed RH sensor has the advantages of compact size, good reversibility, and stability, which makes it attractive for high-humidity environments.
