Abstract
A fabrication method of the multi-wavelength fiber grating (FBG) was introduced. Using the scan exposure method, the multi-wavelength FBG can be successfully manufactured through applying different tensile forces during the multiple exposures process on the same fiber. Experiment results show that the position and the overlap of different sub FBGs will greatly affect the spectrum of every sub FBG. The spectrum of each sub FBG will be affected by short wave oscillation unless the lengths and positions of all sub FBGs are fully overlapped. For hydrogen loaded fiber, the wavelength and reflectivity of the nth level FBG will increase as the (n+1)th level FBG is written. But for germanium doped photosensitive fiber, multiple exposure will increase the wavelength of previous sub FBGs while decrease the reflectivity of all sub FBGs. Through well distributing exposure intensity of every sub FBGs, a four-wavelength FBG with same sub FBG’s spectrum was fabricated on a hydrogen loaded single mode fiber.
