Frequency [kHz]<br />
• Sensors with Damival coating are more sensitive than PZT in the frequency range 4-20kHz<br />
• Sensors with Araldite coating are more sensitive than PZT in the frequency range 15-35kHz<br />
• Sensitivity improvement with respect to bare FBG of 2-3 order of magnitude<br />
• Sensitivity comparable or higher than traditi<strong>on</strong>al PZT and other phot<strong>on</strong>ic technologies at the state of the art<br />
• Resoluti<strong>on</strong>: about 10mPa/(Hz) 1/2 at the res<strong>on</strong>ances -It depends also <strong>on</strong> the interrogati<strong>on</strong> strategy. It can be improved-<br />
• Frequency selectivity is desired in active sensing applicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
whereas flatness is typically required in passive sensing applicati<strong>on</strong>s
