Abstract: A new approach to simultaneously interrogate orthogonal axes of single Fiber-Bragg-Gratings (FBGs) and FBG-Fabry Perot resonator sensors fabricated in linearly highly birefiringent (HiBi) fibre is presented. Novel interrogation techniques of single Fiber-Bragg-Gratings (FBGs) and FBG-resonator sensors are presented. For a single FBG, we combined a laser-modulation technique to an electronic feedback loop that keeps the source always frequency locked to one peak of the sensor
