Fibre grating optical waveguide device

A method of stripping an optical fiber including a silica optical waveguide and a coating to be removed over a portion to be stripped includes making a cut in the coating of the portion to be stripped, depositing a stripping gel on the coating of the portion to be stripped, and cleaning the portion to be stripped to remove the coating and expose the silica of the fiber.

Method of stripping an optical fiber

The present invention relates to a fiber grating filter optical waveguide device, comprising an optical fiber with an optical filter, both consisting essentially of silica, whereby said optical filter has an area with a grating region, wherein said area with a grating region is covered with a layer comprising a material having a refractive index which is the same or higher than the refractive index of the material of the optical fiber. The variation of the physic-chemical nature of said material allows to match the changes in the refractive index of the optical fiber of the optical filter when specific requirements for a high transmission spectrum of the filter are required.
