A fiber gas sensor includes a fiber core with first and second refractive index periodic modulated grating structures having different amplitude modulation profiles positioned about the fiber core. A fiber cladding is positioned about the first and second refractive index periodic modulated grating structures. A sensing layer is positioned about the fiber cladding of one of the refractive index periodic modulated grating structures. The sensing layer includes a sensing material made of a Pd-based alloy, such as nano-PdOx, nano-Pd(x)Au(y)Ni(1-x-y) or nano-Pd/Au/WOx. The fiber gas sensor provides a measurement of localized, temperature-corrected gas concentration and composition from a combustion environment. A reflection-based or a transmission-based sensing system with an array of one or more fiber gas sensors is also described.
