Chapter 1. A Guide to Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors Marcelo M. Werneck, Regina C. S. B. Allil, Bessie A. Ribeiro and F bio V. B. de Nazar . Additional information is available at the end of the chapter 1. Introduction Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS) appeared just after the invention of the practical optical Fiber by Corning Glass Works in 1970, now Corning Incorporated, that produced the first Fiber with losses below 20 dB/km. At the beginning of this era, optical devices such as laser, photodetectors and the optical fibers were very expensive, afforded only by telecom companies to circumvent the old saturated copper telephone network. With the great diffusion of the optical Fiber technology during the 1980's and on, optoelectronic devices became less expensive, what favored their use in OFS.
A Guide to Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors 3 principle is used until today for the study and determination of crystal structure, particularly in thin film research.
