Fiber optic devices are being increasingly employed in the fields of chemical and environmental sensing due to their important features, such as high accuracy, small size, chemical inertness, remote operation and multiplexing capabilities.

The emphasis is placed on transducer designs and features as well as the techniques to enhance the sensitivity. Subsequently, coating materials to be deposited around the grating region, providing a selective response to the target analytes are described in detail. Finally, the different applications are reviewed, mainly related to the monitoring of environmental parameters, volatile organic compounds, hazardous gases, heavy metal ions, corrosion, marine salinity and food quality.
