The present invention provides a fabrication method of complex fiber grating structures that can be combined with prior fabrication methods including a phasemask or a two-beam interferometer. By using a rotatable half-wave plate with a polarization beam splitter in the optical path and precisely scanning the relative fiber position, we can expose true complex fiber gratings in a single scan by simultaneously rotating the angle of the half-wave plate.

The present invention provides a two-beam interference exposure system that can be simply adjusted by rotating only one mirror. By placing a half-wave plate in one of the interference arms and precisely scanning the relative fiber position, the present invention can expose true apodized fiber Bragg gratings in a single scan by simultaneously rotating the angle of the half-wave plate. By rotationally switching the fast and slow axes of the half-wave plate, the present invention can also expose n-phase-shifted fiber grating by the same system.

The present invention provides a fiber Bragg Grating sequential writing method with real-time optical fiber position monitoring, characterized in that the relative phase between a fiber grating and a writing interference beam at each positioning point is determined by an interferometric side-diffraction method, and writing is sequentially performed. Accuracy in fabricating a long and complex fiber grating structure can be increased by decreasing or avoiding accumulative errors caused by long-term scan of monitoring optical fiber position, or by a means for fabricating a wanted reference fiber Bragg grating with similar settings.
