Arc-Induced Long Period Gratings from Standard to Polarization-Maintaining and Photonic Crystal Fibers

In this work, we report about our recent results concerning the fabrication of Long Period Grating (LPG) sensors in several optical fibers, through the Electric Arc Discharge (EAD) technique. In particular, the following silica fibers with both different dopants and geometrical structures are consid...
