N2 - In this paper, we report a systematic investigation of the
dependence of both temperature and strain sensitivities on
the jiber Bragg grating (FBG) type, including the wellknown
Type I, Type IIA, and a new type which we have
designated Type 1.4, using both hydrogen-Ji-ee and
hydrogenated B/Ge codoped jibers. We have identijed
distinct sensitivity characteristics for each grating type, and we have utilised them to implement a novel dual-grating,
duul-parameter sensor device. Three dual-grating sensing
schemes with different combinations of gruting types have
been constructed and compared. The Type IA-Type IIA
combination exhibits the best pe$ormance and is superior to
that of previously reported gruting-based structures. The
characteristics of the measurement errors in such dualgrating sensor systems is also presented in detail.
