Abstract

The transmission characteristics of multiply cascaded phase-shifted long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) will be investigated theoretically and experimentally. Their passband can be changed by increasing the number of ${\pi}$ -shifted LPFGs. When two ${\pi}$ -shifted LPFGs with different grating lengths are cascaded in series, the bandwidth of the rejection band and passband can be controlled by the pristine characteristics of two gratings.
