Abstract :
The effect of diametric load on the wavelength of the reflected light from a low-birefringence fibre Bragg grating is studied. The effects of loads up to almost 90 N on a 2.5 cm length of fibre are examined. The experimental results show very good correspondence with the theoretical predictions
