Abstract
A fabrication method of long--period fiber gratings (LPFGs) that can be easily controlled resonance wavelength and losses is introduced. We used the superposition method that core and cladding diameter are modulated by applying a number of small electric-arc to the normal fiber. We derived an equation of resonance wavelength change according to core diameter variation using the phase matching condition and showed the results are well matched with experiments. The measured resonant wavelengths of arc-induced superposition LPFGs according to grating period are well coincident with that of phase matching condition. The resonance wavelength is measured for the temperature changes and a slight mechanical strength degradation of arc-induced LPFGs is observed by increasing arc times.
