Non-intrusive pressure sensors (14-18) for measuring unsteady pressures withina pipe (12) include an optical fiber (10) wrappedin coils (20-24) around the circumference of the pipe (12). The length orchange in the length of the coils (20-24) is indicative of theunsteady pressure in the pipe. Bragg gratings (310-324) impressed in the fiber(10) may be used having reflection wavelength A that relateto the unsteady pressure in the pipe. One or more of sensors (14-18) may beaxially distributed along the fiber (10) using wavelengthdivision multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing.
