Abstract

A fiber optic package and methods for varying the tension within a fiber Bragg grating or other fiber-based optical device subjects a fiber (having the fiber Bragg grating written therein) to a controlled strain. The resulting strain in the fiber produces a desired and predetermined change in the grating wavelength.
