Abstract
A strain gradient in an optical fibre Bragg grating is realised by mou nting the grating in a yielding, soft, medium (e.g. glue) such that te nsion applied to one end will be gradually relieved over a distance. T his strain gradient results in a grating chirp that can be dynamically controlled by varying the applied tension.
