Abstract
A fiber type optical component in which nonuniform increase of refractive index is restricted to a minimum in an optical fiber to which light sensitive material is added to the cladding section and the cladding section of the optical fiber, by forming the optical fiber such that the outermost diameter of the light sensitive layer of the optical fiber is twice as large as the mode field diameter or more, or more preferably 2.5 times as large as the mode field diameter, and by forming slant type optical fiber grating by this optical fiber, it is possible to realize the fiber type optical component in which the bandwidth of transmittance loss is narrow and steep in the reflection restricting angle with filtering ability having large transmittance loss.
