The aim of the project is to contribute to the European Action COST TD1001 in the field of novel concepts and designs of optical fiber sensors for safety and security applications. Main attention is focused on the highly-sensitive optical chemical sensors based on the long-period gratings, inscribed in the photonic crystal fibers and operating near the dispersion turning point on the grating phase matching curve.
