Temperature and Humidity Sensitivity of Polymer Optical Fibre Sensors Tuned by Pre-Strain [PDF]
Polymer optical fibre Bragg grating (POFBG) sensors are of high interest due to their enhanced fracture toughness, flexibility in bending, and sensitivity in stress and pressure monitoring applications compared to silica-based sensors.

Optical solitons in fibre Bragg gratings with third- and fourth-order dispersive reflectivities
. For the first time in the field of nonlinear optics, we address cubic–quartic solitons appearing in the fibre Bragg gratings with dispersive reflectivity for four different cases of nonlinear refractive-index structures.

Inscription methods for co‐located fibre Bragg gratings using small spot direct UV writing
Two methods to inscribe co‐located fibre Bragg gratings using the small spot direct UV writing technique are described and compared, namely: superimposed gratings, which are written one over the other at the same spatial location, and superstructured ...
