Abstract

We present what is to our knowledge the first demonstration of a tunable fiber Bragg grating device in polymer optical fiber that utilizes a thin-film resistive heater deposited on the surface of the fiber. The polymer fiber was coated via photochemical deposition of a $\mathrm{Pd}∕\mathrm{Cu}$ metallic layer with a procedure induced by vacuum–ultraviolet radiation at room temperature. The resulting device, when wavelength tuned via joule heating, underwent a wavelength shift of $2\mathrm{nm}$ for a moderate input power of $160\mathrm{mW}$, a wavelength to input power coefficient of $-13.4\mathrm{pm}∕\mathrm{mW}$, and a time constant of $1.7{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$.
