Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) pressure sensor has the advantages of underwater passive, corrosion resistance, light weight, low cost and anti-electromagnetic interference, which has been widely used. This paper first briefly introduces the basic principle of FBG pressure sensing. It then summarizes the development status of FBG writing technology, pressure sensing and sensitizing technology, and temperature compensation technology. Next, it summarizes the application progress of FBG pressure sensor in the fields of ocean depth, lake level measurement, oil and gas pipeline pressure measurement, and rock and soil pressure monitoring in recent years. Finally, the FBG pressure sensing technology is prospected.
