Abstract:We report the first demonstration of a long period grating in single mode ZBLAN fibers. The grating structure is mechanically induced by pressing a threaded rod onto a section of the fiber. A notch filter response is observed both near 1365 nm and 1525 nm. The advantages of the approach include tunability, repeatability and erasability.
