The TFBGs with grating planes tilted at an angle of 2.5กใ corresponding to the fiber axis were inscribed. The TFBGs in the GI-MMF had the good linear sensitivity to the temperature, strain and curvature. The fiber was then cleaved at the far end of the TFBG to form an R-TFBG using the Fresnel reflection of the fiber end. The reflective spectra of the R-TFBG were given, and the temperature sensing properties were also investigated. %K TFBG %K GI-MMF %K sensor %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13320-013-0107-6
