Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical fiber grating as an optical component comprising an optical fiber having a core and a cladding, and a grating photowritten in the optical fiber. In particular, in the optical fiber grating in accordance with the present invention, the optical fiber into which the grating periodically changing the refractive index in the waveguide along the advancing direction of light is photowritten has a depressed cladding type refractive index profile. Accordingly, when the configuration of the optical fiber having a depressed cladding type refractive index, employed as the object in which the grating is photowritten, is changed, the stability in characteristics as the optical component or the like can easily be improved.
