Abstract

A fiber optic laser includes a fiber optic element, and a Bragg grating means in the fiber optic element and defined by a periodic variation in the index of refraction of the element to enhance the narrow band response of the laser and/or increase the loss of unwanted frequencies. A method of making the fiber laser is also disclosed.
