A pressure sensing cable in one embodiment includes a polarization maintaining (PM) optic fiber having a length; and a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) pair formed in the PM optic fiber. The FBG pair includes a first FBG formed at a location along the length of the optic fiber. The first FBG defines a first wavelength range at which the first FBG is reflective. The FBG pair also includes a second FBG spaced a distance from the first FBG to define a FBG cavity extending between the first FBG and the second FBG. The second FBG defines a second wavelength range at which the second FBG is reflective. The first wavelength range of the first FBG and the second wavelength range of the second FBG at least partially overlap.
