A production device and a production method for a grating-type optical
component enabling formation of a variety types of FBGs using a single
phase mask and an optical component made by the production method or
production device for a grating-type optical component are provided. The
method involves diffusing at least one of hydrogen or deuterium into an
optical fiber and altering the refractive index of the optical fiber by
irradiating the fiber with non-interfering UV lamp light.
