The research progress in long period fiber gratings （LPFGs）, distributed fiber sensing systems and microfiber sensors is introduced. For LPFGs, the processing method with high-frequency CO2 laser pulses types of LPFGs fabricated and the related applications for both optical sensing and optical communication are described. For distributed fiber sensing systems, the fiber-optic polarization optical time domain reflectometer （POTDR）, fiber-optic phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer （φ-OTDR） and Brillouin optical time-domain analyzer （BOTDA） are developed, respectively. For microfiber sensors, we mainly focus on the knot resonator and its application for sensing of the refractive index and acceleration, etc.展开更多
