    Abstract: A method and an apparatus (10) for recording optical gratings in a photosensitive medium (14) are provided. The invention uses a phase mask (16) in combination with a scanning of the recording light beam (20). The phase mask, or alternatively the photosensitive medium, is translated along a direction parallel to the scanning of the light beam, so that the period of the recorded grating may be locally adjusted. To ensure a proper recording efficiency over a large wavelength range, an appropriately selected wavefront curvature is provided in the light beam. The method of the invention is particularly advantageous for the recording of superimposed grating components in a photosensitive medium.

    Abstract: An optical structure and devices based thereon for the compensation of chromatic dispersion in a multi-channel light signal are provided. The optical structure includes a waveguide and a Bragg grating provided therein. The Bragg grating has a plurality of grating components, each associated with one or a few of the channels to be compensated. The period of each grating component is selected to allow compensation of chromatic dispersion experienced by this particular channel or these particular channels, thereby taking into account the wavelength-dependent dispersion slope of the light signal. Tuning means may also be provided in order to adjust the dispersion of the grating components to the required values.

    Abstract: An apodized fiber Bragg grating, and a phase mask, method and system for making such a grating are disclosed. The refractive index profile of the grating has a periodic apodization phase component which is designed so that the grating fringes reflecting light in a spectral region of interest are apodized, by generating spurious reflection features outside of this spectral region of interest. Apodization is therefore provided through a phase variation of the grating as opposed to an amplitude variation. The phase component is added to the profile of the phase mask grating corrugations to obtain the phase-apodized grating.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an athermally-passive adjustable chromat ic dispersion device. The device comprises an optical fiber grating which is fixed on its length to an elongated beam member that can be flexed so that a non- uniform tensile strain induced in the grating reconfigures the group delay response. The chirp of the grating is changed by the bending of the bar, allowing adjustab le chromatic dispersion compensation. A multi-material construction allows the package to passively compensate for the natural temperature dependence of th e filter resonance wavelength by varying the strain in the fiber in response t o changes in the ambient temperature. The device also allows for adjustment of the central filter wavelength without affecting the grating integrity.

    Abstract: An athermally packaged optical fiber device, such as a Bragg grating, i s provided. The device includes a hollow structure, and a free and a threaded member projecting in the hollow structure from both ends. The optical fiber is mounted in tension inside the hollow structure through longitudinal fiber- receiving bores in both members, and has an anchor point affixed to each member with t he grating therebetween. The anchor point of the threaded member is provided outside of the hollow structure, making the device more compact. The free an d threaded members are rotatable together to adjust the resonant wavelength of the grating, and a nut may be provided to allow a fine-tuning. The hollow structure, free member and threaded member have a coefficient of thermal expansion selected so that they together compensate for the temperature dependency of the Bragg wavelength.
