1 INTRODUCTION
Fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been the subject of intense research and development since the discovery of photosensitivity in optical fibers by Hill et al. [1]. An FBG is formed within the core of an optical fiber by introducing periodic variation in its refractive index profiles. The resonance (or Bragg) wavelength (λ B) of the FBG is [2]

where Λ is the periodicity ...
