We experimentally demonstrated the fabrication of asymmetric long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) in thin core fiber by use of focused CO<sub>2</sub> laser beam. The proposed device exhibits a high extinction ratio of over 25 dB at the resonant wavelength and a narrowed 3-dB bandwidth of only 8.7 nm, which is nearly one order of magnitude smaller than that of LPFGs in conventional single-mode fibers. It also exhibits a high polarization-dependent loss of over 20 dB at resonant wavelength. The temperature and external refractive index (RI) sensitivity of the proposed structure are measured to be 46 pm/&#x00B0;C, within a temperature range from 25 &#x00B0;C to 100 &#x00B0;C, and 1047.3 nm/RIU, within the RI range from 1.400 to 1.440, respectively. The temperature induced error is ~8% for RI measurement. Such long LPFGs may find potential applications of highly sensitive RI sensors in the fields of chemical and biomedical sensing.
