In this work, different FBG temperature sensors are simulated and evaluated with various apodization profiles. A New apodization function is proposed with a remarkable performance compared even with the Gaussian profile. Also, and for the first time, we introduce the Nuttall apodization profile with detailed analysis. Evaluation is done under a wide range of controlling design parameters like sensor length and refractive index modulation amplitude, targeting a remarkable temperature sensing performance. New judgment techniques are introduced such as apodization window roll-off rate,...
