We propose and demonstrate a fabrication method of chirped fiber gratings by a thermal diffusion process. The method could suggest a direction for a simple and cost-effective implementation of chirped fiber grating-based devices.

Novel, all-fiber drop-pass filters with the implementation of fiber gratings are reported. Good controllability of the drop and pass power is demonstrated. Some preliminary results on the performance of the drop-pass filters are presented.

We demonstrated numerically that both the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope could be compensated by using purely phase-sampled superstructure fiber Bragg gratings provided with chirp of coupling coefficient along the wavelength axis. Also, we propose a purely phase-sampled Bragg grating for dispersion and dispersion slope compensation by introducing a chirp in coupling coefficient and sampling function. The bandwidth of all reflected channels can be equalized.

We propose a tunable flat-top bandpass filter to pass light in a customized wavelength band by using long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) structure. The LPFG structure is composed of a core mode blocker in between two LPFGs. The bandpass spectrum of the proposed structure is obtained in overlapped wavelength band of two LPFGs operating on the same modes. To analyze the properties, we introduce a mathematical matrix model for the structure. We theoretically demonstrate flexibility of the flat-top bandpass filter with various bandwidths.

An optical fiber device is fabricated that is formed LPFGs only where pressure is applied, and the characteristics of the device are investigated. The fabricated device is composed of a 60cm-long metallic rod, with long period gratings of $720\;{\mu}m$ on the upper side and a rubber cover. In this device, gratings are only formed when pressure was applied to a spot, to which pressure was applied, and the formed gratings had the same transmission property regardless of spot, to which pressure was applied. We measured the optical transmission property of the fabricated device and found its usability as an optical fiber load sensor to measure weight.

A linearly-chirped fiber grating for the dispersion compensation over 520km of 1.3.mu.m single mode fiber is designed. The compensation characteristics of the gratings apodized each with Gaussian and hyperbolic tangent function are studied. the ripples in reflection and delay curves are coniderably reduced for both cases, but the reflection bandwidth for the hyperbolic tangent apodization is much less shrinked than that of the Gaussian apodization.

In this paper, a channel spacing-tunable sampled fiber gratings(SFGs) is proposed, and analytically and experimentally investigated. The channel spacing of the proposed SFGs can be tuned by simply changing the period of the external pressure on the fiber Bragg gratings(FBGs). The channel spacing of 1.4nm was tuned to 0.8nm by changing the pressure period from 580${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1000${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ The experimental results agree well with the theoretical results.

A tunable band-pass filter of fiber Bragg gratings incorporating the Sagnac loop interferometer configuration is presented. The proposed band-pass filter with extinction ratio 20 dB has practical advantages in terms of price and performance in comparison with the conventional band-pass filter using a circulator.

We fabricated a number of optical fiber Bragg gratings by varying the UV beam parameters such as the laser energy density, pulse repetition rate and exposing time. The reflectance and the Bragg wavelength shift of the fiber Bragg gratings formed with a KrF excimer laser in real time depend strongly on the UV beam parameters. The index changes in the gratings during the exposing time are well fitted to the well known equations.

In this study, we studied the effect of $Co^{60}$ gamma-radiation on the fiber Bragg gratings written by femtosecond UV laser in single mode optical fibers. The fiber Bragg gratings were exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of about 31.6 kGy at the dose rate of 106 Gy/min. According to the experimental data and analysis results, we confirmed Bragg gratings written by femtosecond laser have the excellent radiation-hardened characteristics for high radiation environments.
