Abstract
Subject of Research.The paper presents the study of effect that occurs when pressure is applied to the phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings perpendicular to the fiber axis. Method. Fiber Bragg gratings inscription was performed using Talbot interferometer, and the introduction of a phase shift – by means of the electrical discharge of an arc fusion splicer. The excimer laser system was used as a radiation source. The change in the reflection spectra at different pressures on the optical fiber is measured. Main Results. Fiber Bragg gratings with a phase shift are obtained by the procedure that excludes the use of high-precision instruments during the phase-shift introduction step. Experiment results are given showing up the distance dependence between the local minima in the reflection spectrum of fiber Bragg grating with a phase shift on the applied mass arising as a result of the induced birefringence. It is shown that the change in spectral characteristics is related to the birefringence effect owing to stresses inside the fiber. As a result, the second local minimum appears in reflectance band. Practical Relevance. Research results can be used in creation of a sensing element of a fiber optic pressure sensor.  This study demonstrates the application possibilities of Bragg gratings with a phase shift as sensing elements in fiber-optic pressure sensors.

Keywords: fiber Bragg grating, phase shift, Talbot interferometer, excimer laser, pressure sensor, birefringence
