    Abstract: An optical fiber grating device (10) including a length of optical fiber having a predetermined fundamental mode effective guide index and a longitudinally tapered region for accessing a fundamental mode of light. The tapered region has a grating (24) with a predetermined light spectral shaping property that shapes the light spectrum of the fundamental mode. A coating (26) surrounds the tapered region (18) of the fiber for modifying the fundamental mode effective guide index of the fiber in order to change the spectral shaping property of the grating.

    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a temperature-dependent rare earth doped waveguide optical amplifier is compensated by a temperature-dependent loss filter. The filter characteristics are designed to be temperature-dependent filters so that the gain characteristic of the amplifier is compensated over a practical operating temperature range. In essence, the amplifier comprises a length of optical waveguide for transmitting optical signals, a rare earth doped amplifying region in the waveguide for amplifying the transmitted optical signals, a pumping source for optically pumping the amplifying region, and a temperature-dependent loss filter. A typical design compensates an EFDA to a variation of less than 1 dB over a temperature range of -40 DEG C to 85 DEG C and a spectral range of at least 20 nm.

    Abstract: The method of making an optical fiber refractive index grating comprises writing the grating through the fiber coating. The method involves providing optical fiber of significantly higher photosensitivity than conventional fiber, such that the grating can be written before unacceptable darkening of the coating occurs. Such fiber is H2 and/or D2-loaded silica-based fiber having a Ge-doped core, the fiber selected to have a germanium-oxygen deficiency center content that provides the fiber with a photosensitivity that is at least twice as large as that of an otherwise identical, conventionally prepared, optical fiber. The fiber typically is drawn from a preform, at least a portion of which was exposed to a reducing atmosphere at an elevated temperature.

    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a reconfigurable optical fiber grating comprises an optical fiber grating with a temperature sensitive material surrounding the cladding region or incorporated into the cladding region. One or more heating elements are arranged to produce a a temperature gradient along the length of the grating and thereby chirp the grating. In a preferred embodiment, a long period fiber grating is surrounded by a material in which dn/dT is 10 times as large as that of glass and in which n is close to but lower than that of the glass. A temperature gradient along the length of the grating results in a broadening of the resonance.
