Abstract(in English) We have controlled the resonance characteristics by locally loading medium with different refractive index outside the cladding of long-preiod fiber grating (LPFG). In previous works, liquid material such as glycerol diluted solution was used as high index medium. In this paper, considering practical applications, we manufactured the tunable LPFG using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a solid loading medium, When higher refracitve index medium is loaded, its transmition loss can be controlled. This device can achieve same specification of 49.4dB and 38.3dB tuning range. We also evaluated temperature characteristics of PVA loading LPFG. In the results, the temperature characteristic was greatly improved comparing with liquid material.
