Abstract
Long period fiber gratings that couple light from a guided mode to cladding modes are now being used as gain equalizers1 and band-rejection filters in several optical fiber systems. While these devices work exceptionally well in such applications, they have a high temperature sensitivity, typically on the order of 5–15 nm/100°C.
