The low velocity impacts (LVIs) monitoring based on optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have attracted more attention in recent years. The center wavelength migrations of FBG sensors were determined by strain and residual strain during and after LVI on composite material structure. We presented a method to discriminate the energy characters of LVI response signals related to LVI locations. By analyzing the wavelet packet energy spectra of LVI response signals monitored by FBG sensors, the sixth node's energy was found to be sensitive to LVI location. Thus, the sixth node's energies as LVI feature values, were used to predict the LVI locations by the method of support vector regression (SVR). By optimization of the SVR models' free parameters, predicting accuracy was 4.62% in the work.

A respiration rate (RR) monitoring system was created by integrating a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) optical fibre sensor into a respirator mask. The system exploits the sensitivity of an FBG to temperature to identify an individual's RR by measuring airflow temperature variation near the nostrils and mouth. To monitor the FBG response, a portable, battery-powered, wireless miniature interrogator system was developed to replace a relatively bulky benchtop interrogator used in previous studies.

Article Synopsis
- A fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensor has been developed for measuring curvature using specialty optical fibers with gratings inscribed via femtosecond laser technology.
- The sensor utilizes two different gratings located in asymmetrical positions (one in the central core and one in the eccentric core) to analyze bending characteristics, achieving a sensitivity of 58 pm/m-1 over a curvature range from 0 to 50 m-1.
- This design minimizes temperature and humidity effects by comparing peak shifts between the two gratings, making it robust and suitable for engineering applications in curvature sensing.

This work presents a novel high-sensitivity temperature sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating inscribed on a tapered optical fiber which terminates in a microsphere, all embedded within a PDMS-filled silica capillary. The fabricated microsphere at the taper's end enhances PDMS traction, improving strain transfer between the polymer and the fiber during temperature changes. Different waist diameters for the tapered fiber were considered for the design of the sensor.
