This paper presents the design and construction of a new planar optical Polymer Waveguide Bragg grating (PWBG) temperature and humidity sensor realized by polymer-glass hybrid technology composition with a new layout concept. The Bragg grating of a sensor was made by a Direct Laser Writing (DLW) in Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) formed on a multimode waveguide realized in a glass substrate by Ag+ Na+ ion exchange. The fabricated hybrid Bragg grating structure exhibited more than 10 dB of the attenuation dip, equivalent to higher than 90 diffraction efficiency. The fabricated hybrid PWBG sensor exhibited high temperature and humidity sensitivity in contrast to glass-based sensors of - 48.6 pm/degrees C and 54.16 pm center dot RH-1, respectively.
