The averaged diffraction field distribution in fiber Received in revised form 21 September 2010 core was calculated as a function of optical fiber position. The results show that in a case of apodized FBGs Accepted 23 September 2010 fabrication, averaged field intensity profile, and thus refractive index changes in fiber core have complex form. Moreover, it was shown that the influence of optical fiber position behind the phase mask on average intensity Keywords: distribution in fiber core decreases with increasing of its diameter.
