  • the ultra violet radiation can be applied directly to the fibre 20.
  • the stress distribution of the fibre 20 can also be modified by applying heat treatment.

  • the refractive index 4 may be caused to vary by application of heat.
  • the variation 5 in the refractive index 4 can therefore be achieved by varying the strength of the ultraviolet radiation applied to the fibre 30 along its length 3.

  • At least one of the core 41 and the two inner claddings 42, 43 can have a different thermal expansion coefficient than the outer cladding 44.
  • Application of ultraviolet light and / or heat treatment can be used to cause variation in stress along the length of the optical fibre 40 in a similar manner to that described with reference to Figure 2, this variation in stress causing a corresponding variation in the refractive index distribution along the fibre via the photo-elastic effect.
