Abstract :
A new technique based on a two-beam interferometer with polarization control for fabricating advanced fiber Bragg grating (FBG) devices is demonstrated. By simultaneously rotating the angle of the half-wave plate, pure apodized and π-phase-shifted FBGs can be fabricated in a single scan.
