The characteristics of Long Period Gratings (LPGs) written in a range of Bi-Ge, Sn-Er-Ge and Sb-Er-Ge specialist fibres were investigated in light of their application to high-temperature sensing and to compare their performance with previously published work. The results show that the LPG written i

β¦ Synopsis
This paper compares the environmental sensing behaviour of long period gratings written in three fibers with different refractive index profiles: step, W and a progressive three layered fiber. The measurands considered are temperature, refractive index, axial strain and bending, and the spectral behaviour of individual attenuation bands were observed and, where possible, compared to theoretical predictions. Significant differences in the behaviour of the three fiber types were found.

## Abstract In this paper, we show that a complete threeβlayer analysis is necessary to characterise the cladding modes in order to obtain grating period, resonances, and coupling length in the design of longβperiod gratings (LPGs), and that the simplified twoβlayer fiber geometry used by many auth
