Sensitivity characteristics of long-period fiber gratings

Full characterization of the sensitivity of the LPFG is a precursor to practical device design, and knowledge of the sensitivity of the Long-period fiber gratings to the parameters of its physical environment processed is clearly important. We present a theoretical and experimental investigation into the sensitivity of long-period fiber gratings as a function of processed parameters by high-frequency CO2 laser pulses.
