| Abstract: |
| A new method is presented to tune Bragg wavelength slightly by using hydrofluoric acid to etch fiber cladding. The spectral
characteristics before and after etching and the change properties of Bragg wavelength are studied. Cladding modes are reduced
during the etching process. High-order cladding modes are converted into radiation modes, and energy of cladding modes is
coupled to the outside. As the cladding radius decreases, the Bragg wavelength shifts to longer direction. Experimental results
show that this method can tune Bragg wavelength slightly, and the tunable range is 0.002 −0.120 nm. |
