Abstract

Long period gratings (LPGs) as a sensing platform have the potential for multi-parameter measurement through the utilization of 2nd order coupling resonance bands. Although the current literature has produced LPGs with 2nd order resonance bands, the fabrication parameters required to generate these features have not been elucidated. Here, using UV irradiation via the point-by-point method, it is shown that by varying the duty cycle it is possible to fabricate LPGs that exhibit 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order coupling resonance bands. Fabrication of LPGs with a 25% or 75% duty cycle produces distinct 2nd order resonance bands, which are not observed when a 50% duty cycle is adopted.
