The evolution ofthe PDL with wavelength with respectto transversal pressureisstudiedtheoretically andexperimentally. A theoretical model for transversal pressure sensing by use of PDL is built and numerical simulation isalso carriedout. Thetheoretical analysissuggeststhat the PDL ofFBG ismore suitable for measuring transversepressurethansinglespectralanalysisin the low pressureregion becauseofitsgreater sensitivity. Under thetransversepressureconditionsof 0~ 180 N, the demodulation isrealized by use ofthe centroid heightand the wavelength spacingofthetwopeaksrespectively. The resolutionsof 0. 06 dB/N for smallpressure(0~ 80 N) and 2.5 pm/Nfor largepressure ( 81~ 180 N) are demonstrated. Good agreementsbetween experimental resultsand numericalsimulationsverify the feasibility ofthe
