Abstract
In this paper the formation and characterization of non uniform single side loaded and double side loaded optical gratings is done. The non uniform long period reversible optical grating is practically induced in communication grade single mode fiber. In reversible optical fiber gratings the fiber is subject to periodical stress, which results in alternated regions under compression and stretching that modulate the refractive index via the photo elastic effect. The spectral responses of single side loaded optical grating is then compared with double side loaded optical grating.
