A novel fibre Bragg grating displacement sensor is presented. Using a unifo
rm density and thickness overlapped dual-isosceles triangular cantilever be
am as a strain agent, it is demonstrated both experimentally and theoretica
lly that this sensor is able to automatically compensate for wavelength shi
fts induced by temperature. The measured sensitivity of this sensor is 0.10
51 nm/mm within the working range of -18 - 18mm.
