Abstract

This chapter describes the use of photonic crystal fibers treated with long period grating (PCF-LPG) used for gas sensing. We set out to determine the best PCF configuration design for optimal performance. Numerical simulations were carried out to better understand the mode characteristics of a given PCF configuration and role of the Bragg grating in generating the cladding mode for gas sensing. This was used for determination of optimal PCF structure for the cladding mode coupling.
