We demonstrate a long-period fiber grating composed of an etched corrugated structure that can be used as a wavelength-and loss-tunable band-rejection filter. The tunabilities are based on the index modulation capable of being varied in the corrugated structure under externally applied mechanical forces. The new type of fiber filter enables wavelength and loss tuning ranges of more than 40 nm and 25 dB by adjusting the applied amounts of torsion and tensile forces, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
