An optical fibre (2) is fixed between a clamp (6) and a piezo-electric translation stage (10). An argon ion laser (12) emitting at 514.5 nm is used to write Bragg gratings in the fibre (2). A different longitudinal stress is applied to the fibre (2) before optically writing each Bragg grating. The fibre (2) when unstressed will have a Bragg grating of different peak reflectivity corresponding to the number of different applied stresses.

The inventions relate to the sphere of the laser technology, the fibre and integrated optics, and are industrially applicable in elements of the fibre and waveguide optics made of germanium silicate glass, particularly in fibre-optical Bragg gratings and long-spacing gratings, scattering compensators, integrated optical waveguides, etc. The objective of simplification of Raman fibre lasers emitting in the wavelengths of 1.24 mc and 1.48 mc and enhancement of the radiation conversion efficiency in Raman scattering is attained. A laser emitting in the wavelength of 1.24 mc comprises a pumping source (1), a fibre light guide (2) containing P2O5 in the amount from 1 to 30 mole %, portions of a fibre light guide that contain GeO2 in the amount from 11 to 39 mole % and are Bragg fibre-optical gratings (3) and (4), grating (3) forming a blank distributed reflector of an optical resonator for first Stokes component, and grating (4) - the output distributed reflector for the same resonator. First Stokes component is derived at the output. In a Raman fibre laser emitting in the wavelength of 1.48 mc second Stokes component is derived. A change in the refraction index in a portion of a fibre light guide (11) is achieved by directing to it a laser radiation (12) having a wavelength from 270 to 390 nm that passes through a protection polymer cladding of a fibre light guide (11).

An optical waveguide light tapping arrangement includes an optical waveguide (10) having solid portions (11) that guide light in a first path along a longitudinal axis, with at least one grating region (13) being embedded in the solid portion at a location remote from its end portions. The grating region includes a multitude of grating elements (14) extending with a substantially equal longitudinal spacing (a) at an oblique angle (α) relative to the longitudinal axis to redirect light reaching-the grating elements between the first path and at least one second path extending externally of the waveguide at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis that depends on the oblique angle. When light is directed in one of the first and second paths toward the grating region, it is redirected by the grating elements into the respectively other of the second and first paths with attendant in-phase combination in the other path of light having a wavelength within a narrow range around a central wavelength that is in a predetermined relationship to the spacing of the grating elements. The light propagating in the other path can then be captured. The grating elements are formed in the core by exposing the core to an interference pattern of two ultraviolet radiation beams that are symmetrical with respect to a plane extending at the oblique angle relative to the core axis.
