Abstract :
A simple long-period fiber grating structure using a tapered fiber side-contacted with a metal grating is proposed and demonstrated. The temperature/index tuning sensitivity can be enhanced and the un-usual spectral response of decreasing phase-matching wavelength with respect to increasing temperature has been observed.
