Abstract: The possibilities of apodization of fibre Bragg gratings written by the holographic method with a Gaussian beam are considered. A simple method is demonstrated for smoothing the spectral profile of highly reflecting gratings by illuminating the written interference pattern by a homogeneous Gaussian beam.
