Abstract

This article demonstrates the effect of waveguide and material parameters on thermal sensitivity trends adopted by different cladding modes based on long-period fiber grating. Three-layer fiber geometry-based mathematical model has been implemented to estimate cladding modes. It is observed that for a cladding mode, the sign and magnitude of thermal sensitivity slope depend upon the designed grating period closer to period at dispersion turn around point. The \(\hbox {LP}_{10}\) and \(\hbox {LP}_{11}\) cladding modes have shown blueshift and maximum thermal sensitivity above all other modes at designed grating periods of 225 and \(195\,\upmu \hbox {m}\), respectively. The material parameter of fiber (thermo-optic coefficient) has also resulted in increment in sensitivity with the increase in difference amid its values for core and cladding region.
