Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber telecommunications. More specifically, the subject of the invention is a slanted Bragg grating optical fiber and a process for manufacturing such a fiber. The slanted Bragg grating optical fiber of longitudinal axis Z has slanted Bragg gratings photowritten in said fiber and having refractive index modulations along said axis Z, inclined at a same writing angle with respect to a normal plane to said axis Z and defining planes called writing planes forming the same angle than the writing angle with said normal plane, each writing plane forming with others writing planes specific angles called angles of rotation about said axis Z.
