Abstract
We investigate the on-line writing identical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) arrays using the
phase mask technique. Given the limitation of laser power, the energy density uniformity and the
horizontal width of the writing spot cannot be further optimized. The results show that the FBG
arrays obtained in the optimal process (drawing speed of 12 ± 0.15 m/min and average tension of
38.2 g) have a central wavelength bandwidth of less than 0.1 nm and an average reflectivity of
0.26%. Thus, the phase mask method is a promising alternative for on-line writing identical FBG
arrays.
