It is shown that these parameters will affect the LPFG filtering characteristics. The loss peak of transmission spectrum decreases with the increase of film thickness, and the peak position shifts with the film refractive index. Compared with the non-coated phase-shifted LPFG, the coated one has the similar desirable filtering characteristics, and it has a flexible ability to adjust the transmission properties.
