The structure of the FBG can vary via the refractive index, or the grating period. The grating period can be uniform or graded, and either localised or distributed in a superstructure. The refractive index has two primary characteristics, the refractive index profile, and the offset. Typically, the refractive index profile can be uniform or apodized, and the refractive index offset is positive or zero. There are six common structures for FBGs;.

This example demonstrates a temperature sensor based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). High-temperature measurements above 1000 °C are critical in harsh environments such as aerospace, metallurgy, fossil fuel, and power production. Fiber-optic high-temperature sensors are gradually replacing traditional electronic sensors due to their small size, resistance to electromagnetic. It is a single point contact temperature measurement system. A Fluorescent sensor is formed at the tip of the Optical Fiber. The light source is used to excite the Fluorescent material. The temperature-dependent change of the refractive indices of the fiber, consequently the shift of its Bragg wavelength, is used as a measure of the temperature.

Fiber Bragg gratings are created by "inscribing" or "writing" systematic (periodic or aperiodic) variation of refractive index into the core of a special type of optical fiber using an intense (UV) source such as a UV. Two main processes are used: interference and masking. The method that is preferable depends on the type of grating to be manufactured. Although polymer optic fibers starting gaining research interest in the 2000s, -doped silica fiber is most commonly used. The germanium.
