Abstract

This study presents characterization of phase matched turning point long period gratings. It helps in optimizing the grating parameters of these long period gratings viz. grating period, length of grating, for maximum sensitivity. We have calculated spectral variation of refractive indices, effective refractive indices of fundamental and circularly symmetric cladding modes and grating periods. Phase matching curves for first 14 cladding modes have been obtained. Weakly-guiding analysis is used to compute effective refractive indices for the fundamental guided mode and cladding modes. Ultra high sensitivity at turn around points have been verified analytically with the help of general sensitivity factor. LP12 cladding mode is observed to be the most sensitive.
