摘要：

A novel approach to grating writing in optical fibres is described. This method involves writing the grating point by point through the side of the fibre using a UV laser source. Efficient mode conversion between forward propagating modes is demonstrated. The wavelength at which conversion occurs is determined by the periodicity of the grating. The grating can be designed to couple light at any wavelength of interest. © 1990, The Institution of Electrical Engineers. All rights reserved.
