The electric arc technique is used to apodize fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). Arc discharges applied to the ends of the grating produce a smoothing of the refractive‐index modulation profile reducing the sidelobes of the reflection spectrum at longer wavelengths. A sidelobe reduction of 17 dB was obtained. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 50: 316–319, 2008; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
