High order mode long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) were fabricated for the first time, to our knowledge, by point-bypoint CO laser irradiations. With this method, turn-around-point LPFGs working in various circumstances can be easily fabricated by adjusting the inscription period. Effects of fabrication parameters on the characteristics of the resulted LPFGs have been studied. Tenth-order LPFGs have been fabricated and demonstrated for temperature sensing.Index Terms-CO laser, high order mode long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs), point-by-point irradiation, turn-around-point.
