Abstract
A simple method for fabricating tunable nonlinearly chirped fiber gratings is demonstrated experimentally. A nonlinearly chirped fiber grating is form ed when tension is applied to an etched fiber Bragg grating. whose cross-se ctional area's reciprocal varies nonlinearly along the length of grating. T he grating's chirp is tunable by the applied tension. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci ence B.V. All rights reserved.
