Resonant optical strain sensors, obtained by closing in loop coupled π ‐shifted Bragg gratings ( π ‐FBGs), are reported. Despite of a conventional π ‐FBG, showing a transmission Lorentzian resonance in the reflection band, the coupled π ‐shifted Bragg grating structure is characterised by a spectral response formed by a split doublet of the primary transmission Lorentzian mode of π ‐FBG. By closing in loop this structure, the coupled π ‐shifted Bragg grating ring resonators show better performance than π ‐shifted Bragg grating ring resonators in terms of strain sensitivity (i.e. 2.86 pm/με) is demonstrated. Thus, the coupled π ‐FBGRR is suitable for enhanced sensitivity strain sensing applications.
