Abstract
The tradeoff between sensitivity and frequency band is problematic for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometer, and synchronous enhancement is an urgent technical problem. We report a novel fiber-optic accelerometer with high figure of merit (FOM) based on double short gratings, which are inscribed by a femtosecond laser and symmetrically fixed to an M-shaped hinge to increase the sensitivity and reduce the temperature interference. Experiments show that the sensor possesses a resonant frequency of 400 Hz, a high acceleration sensitivity of 729.24 pm/g (1.5 dB), and a high FOM of 116 678 400 pm
