摘要
We demonstrate the fabrication of the interlaced tilted long-period fiber grating (ITLPFG) using focused CO2 laser. Due to the asymmetric refractive index distribution, the grating has very weak sensitivity in the two opposite directions to reduce the influence on the other two bending directions with higher bending sensitivities of -9.16 and 5.14 nm/m(-1), respectively. The temperature and refractive index sensing characteristics of the ITLPFGs are also investigated experimentally. The ITLPFGs could be adopted as temperature-insensitive directional bending sensor.
