Abstract :
Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are nowadays widely used in various fields, including telecommunications. Since its emergence, this component has found many applications due to its properties, versatility and variety of controllable parameters that can shape in various manners its spectral properties. These devices have the advantage of being built of fiber and they are widely used in mono and multichannel networks
