Abstract
We report simulation of a fibre optic sensors class of potential interest for various applications, namely Long Period Grating
Fibre Sensors (LPGFS) having a graphene layer deposited on the cladding in the grating zone. Studied LPGFS consists of
single mode (SM) fused silica optical fibre onto/into which a grating with 10 µm to 1000 µm is inscribed over a 5 mm to 75
mm length zone. During the simulations, the main issue of interest is the displacement of peak wavelengths and bandwidths
broadening of the absorption bands corresponding to the energy transfer from core propagating mode to the possible
cladding modes at the interaction with the grating as results of ambient medium different factors action.
