Abstract
New methods for modal characterization of silica waveguides using UV-i nduced Bragg gratings are proposed. These methods rely either on the f iltering of the fundamental optical mode with a Bragg filter or on the mode coupling by tilting the Bragg grating relative to the optical ax is. Both theoretical and experimental results are reported in this pap er.
