ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a tunable filter comprising an optical fiber incorporating a Bragg grating on a portion of the fiber. Said fiber portion is coated with a material retained within a confined space and adapted to exert pressure on said Bragg grating to compress said portion of fiber radially and to stretch it longitudinally.
