Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology has been around for several decades now with the majority of the development being focused on Silica fiber. Polymer Optical Fibers (POFs) in comparison to Silica fibers are having high tensile strengths, they are biologically compatible and they have 30 times lower young’s modulus which makes them advantageous for various sensing applications [1–3]. Even though the inscription times have been greatly reduced [4], the fabrication of FBGs in POFs is still a challenging and not always successful process. This is particularly problematic for microstructured POFs (mPOFs) in which rings of holes additionally deter the inscription.
