Abstract
A waveguide section intended to host mode-converting optical elements has t o be two-moded, at least, However, waveguides of interest such as telecommu nication fibers are single-moded in general, In this letter, we demonstrate the UV-writing of two-mode sections in originally single-mode fibers. We d iscuss the particular properties of mode-converting Bragg gratings written into such two-mode fiber sections.
