abstract={In this paper we perform a numerical analysis of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) bandwidth characteristics for oil and gas sensing applications. It is shown that the grating length (<i>L</i><SUB><i>g</i></SUB>) and the change in the refractive index profile (<i>¦Ä</i><SUB><i>n</i></SUB>) represent a key parameters in contributing to high FBG sensor performance. The analysis based on solving coupled mode equations were carried out using MATHCAD software. Results show that the changes in the <i>L</i><SUB><i>g</i></SUB> and <i>¦Än</i> affect the FBG bandwidth significantly at a time when demand for bandwidth is growing in oil and gas sensing applications. The obtained results are very important for FBG sensor applications.},
