ABSTRACT:
An optical source is provided to the side of a fiber. The fiber is a single mode fiber which has a core and a cladding. The Bragg grating is written into the core at a low angle. Light emitted from the optical source is index-match coupled into the cladding by using an index matched element. Then, light is coupled into the fiber core along its length.
