摘要
We present a method to reduce changes in the resonant peak depth of a long period fiber grating (LPFG) as the resonant band is tuned by varying the external refractive index We theoretically analyze the effects of the initial coupling strength on the peak depth change as external refractive index is varied By controlling the initial coupling strength it is experimentally demonstrated that an optimum peak depth can be obtained over a range of operating wavelengths that will maximize the sensitivity and stability of LPFG based sensors and tunable filters (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
