The maximum transmission power spectrum is achieved as − 7 dB for the refractive index of 3.005, and the maximum reflection spectra are obtained as 6 dB for the grating height of 1 μm which is enhanced nine times than the precedent work. The proposed FBG is a simple, light-weight, low-cost uniform structure, and it offers high reflectivity and ease of handling. Therefore, it is highly useful in sensing and communication applications. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Article
