In this paper we show that spectra can be acquired for each pixel in a confocal spatial scan by using a fast spectrometer based on an array of strong, broadband visible fiber Bragg gratings. The coupled mode theory is a suitable tool for analysis and obtaining quantitative information about the spectrum of a fiber Bragg grating. The. Abstract—Exceptional points (EPs), intrinsic to non-Hermitian systems, exhibit singular spectral responses with extreme sen-sitivity to external perturbations, offering new opportunities for precision sensing. In this work, we investigate the sensing performance of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs). By adjusting the grating length and refractive index change, parameters of the Fibre Bragg grating which are the effective refractive index, Bragg wavelength, grating period, and strain-optic constant are provided and discussed, along with the characterization of the grating, including strain.
