Abstract
We systematically analyze the mode‐coupling effects of stress‐induced long‐period gratings (LPGs) using photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Two Mach–Zehnder interferometers based on this grating are demonstrated. These devices offer the unique advantages of being tunable and reconfigurable. Their good interfering efficiency makes them promising for wavelength‐selective filters in WDM communication systems. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
