Abstract

A Bragg grating in a single-mode polymer optical fiber (POF) has been created. The novel grating has a length of 1 cm with a reflectivity of 80% and a linewidth of about 0.5 nm. The wavelength tunability of the POF grating by stretching was investigated and a wavelength tunable range of 20 nm has been achieved. Based on the properties of the polymer, we believe that this kind of grating has a wavelength tuning potential of more than 100 nm.
