In order to improve pressure sensitivity of fiber Bragg grating( FBG) sensor so that it can be used in oil and gas under the shaft high-pressure sensing measurement requirement
a high-pressure resistance FBG sensor based on thin-wall elastic cylinder with protective sleeve is designed. Along the axial direction of the elastic cylinder
FBG is sticked to the inner surface by high-temperature glue. Because the change of oil pressure outside the elastic cylinder results in axial compression and the strain is transmitted to FBG
and causes wavelength change of FBG
so ambient pressure change can be measured by testing wavelength change of FBG. The pressure sensitivity by theoretical calculation is- 0. 035 nm / MPa
