ABSTRACT=<p>This work designed a dual-wavelength 2D fiber Bragg grating (FBG) engraved on the single-mode fiber to measure the temperature and strain. The FBG is composed of two sub-gratings that are not overlapped spatially at the same location of the fiber core. Experiments showed that the temperature and strain sensitivities of this grating were separately measured to be 10.64 <italic>p.m.</italic>/°<italic>C</italic> and 0.882,731 p.m./<italic>μɛ</italic> at the central wavelength of 1,548 <italic>nm</italic>, and 10.74 <italic>p.m.</italic>/°<italic>C</italic> and 0.916,080 p.m./<italic>μɛ</italic> at the central wavelength of 1,550 <italic>nm</italic>. These coefficients constitute a coefficient matrix that can solve the problem of cross sensitivity between temperature and strain, which has been verified by varying central wavelengths caused by the synchronous change of temperature and strain.</p>
