Abstract
A new fabrication technique of long-period fiber gratings with periodically surface-etched structures is proposed. Transmission characteristics of the periodically surface-etched long-period fiber gratings are improved by changing strain because of variation of coupling strength between the core and the cladding modes. The sensitivities of the periodically surface-etched long-period fiber gratings to strain, torsion, and ambient refractive index were measured. The strain and the torsion sensitivities were measured to be $-0.033\;dB/\mu\varepsilon$ and -1.30 nm m/rad, respectively. The ambient index sensitivity was measured to be -31.33 nm/RIU from a range from 1.33 to 1.42.
