Abstract
We can introduce chirping, or a variation in the periodicity of a Brag g grating, into an optical fiber by writing gratings on curved optical fibers. By precisely specifying the curvature, we can obtain linear, quadratic, and square-root chirped gratings. Experimental and numerica l verifications of the relationships between curvature and grating cha racteristics are presented.
