Fibre optic Bragg gratings (FBGs) written in normal and reduced diameter high birefringence (HiBi) fibres are studied. Chemical etching is used to reduce the diameter of fibres while the optical properties of the FBG spectrum are measured. The results obtained agree qualitatively with the stress enhanced chemical etching. The birefringence of the fibre is determined as a function of the diameter. Optical characterization of the FBG under transverse strain and temperature is also performed. The results obtained show the feasibility of the simultaneous measurement of those parameters with a HiBi FBG sensor.
