Analysis of cross-sectional refractive index profiles shows that the UV phase mask technique induces a higher refractive index change in the cladding (3.3 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) than in the core (3.6 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u22124<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), as the laser beam is absorbed by the cladding before reaching the core, despite similar absorption properties of both regions at the inscription laser wavelength. This technique also causes undesired physical deterioration within the irradiated fiber cladding region, which hinders the formation of cladding mode resonance comb. In contrast, TFBGs are successfully inscribed using the fs-laser LbL technique at tilted angles of 2\u00b0, 4\u00b0, and 6\u00b0, where the tightly focused laser beam results in a significantly lower spectral density in the cladding compared to the core, thereby avoiding mechanical degradation of the cladding. The structural changes of the all-COP optical fiber core and cladding are smooth and uniform, with a decrease in refractive index of 6.6 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>\n                    and 3.2 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>\n                    , respectively. The resonance strength and spectral width of the cladding mode comb are up to 8.2\u2009dB and 126.9\u2009nm, respectively. This study serves as a foundation for TFBG fabrication in all-COP optical fibers, which offer advantages of long-term thermal stability and negligible water uptake over other polymers.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1364\/ol.609939","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T17:00:10Z","timestamp":1785344410000},"page":"4737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fabrication of tilted fiber Bragg gratings in all-cyclo olefin polymer fibers"],"prefix":"10.1364","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6746-6776","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Soon Xin","family":"Gan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4547-0669","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jingxian","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3744-1120","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jing Wen","family":"Chew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Htein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1694-1094","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Linyue","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hwa-Yaw","family":"Tam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ol-51-16-4737-R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1007\/s13320-010-0016-x","type":"journal-article","volume":"1","author":"Dong","year":"2011","journal-title":"Photonic Sens."},{"key":"ol-51-16-4737-R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108936","DOI":"10.1016\/j.optlastec.2022.108936","type":"journal-article","volume":"158","author":"Du","year":"2023","journal-title":"Opt.
