Abstract: A microstructured optical waveguide is formed to include a periodic sequence of
"plugs" of optically active material within the inner cladding air tunnels. The plugs are
utilized as a grating structure for generating resonant and periodic structures. The
waveguide (in one embodiment, an optical fiber) is tunable by changing the spacing of
the plugs (e.g., heating the structure, changing the pressure within the structure, etc.), or
by modifying the initial spacing of the plugs during the formation of the microstructured
optical waveguide (i.e , by modifying the "dipping frequency" of the waveguide into a
reservoir of optically active material). In general, any number of different types of
optically active material may be used to form the plugs, where two or more different
materials may be used in the same structure, and introduced in an alternating fashion.
