This work presents results of a comparison of the responses to vibration sensors based on Bragg gratings in optical fiber, being a standard fiber G-652 (FBG) and others in the same fiber, but tapered (TFBG) with diameters of 60 micrometers and 80 micrometers. The sensors were subjected to vibration in the frequency range between 50Hz and 240Hz, generated by a speaker through an amplifier powered by a sinusoidal wave generator with a frequency and voltage control. The frequency range used is of interest for use in the vibration monitoring of electric motors, whose working at frequencies of 57.0Hz to 59.2Hz and its harmonics. The results showed that the vibration sensors based on TFBG, exhibited superior results to the FBG, yielding a gain of 2.1 for TFBG 80 micrometers and of 2.7 for the TFBG 60 μm. Using, as a reference, an fiber Bragg gratings accelerometer with a sensitivity of 98pm/g, the TFBG 80 micrometers sensor had a sensitivity of 64.4pm/g and the TFBG 60 micrometers sensor had a sensitivity of 84.8pm/g.
