ABSTRACT:
An optical filter is formed by writing at least one long-period Bragg array into an optical fiber which is tapered to define two substantially adiabatic transition areas delimiting an intermediate area in which the long-period Bragg grating is written to produce codirectional coupling between two guided modes in the intermediate area at a wavelength that is a function of the period of the grating.
