A long-period fiber grating couples light from a guided mode into forward propagating cladding modes where it is lost due to absorption and scattering. This paper presents a review of the evolution of LPFGs, with a specific focus on the progression and current trends of mechanically induced long-period fiber gratings. It is an optical fiber.

In this paper, we rigorously deduce the coupled-mode equations of a long-period fiber grating and fiber Bragg grating in their cascaded structure (CLBG), based on coupled-mode theory. Next, through the difference iterative method, the total transfer matrix of CLBG is obtained.
