Abstract: In this paper, we will present our work on accurate GFF fabrication based upon the wavelength variable turning point optical transmission monitoring method and GFF fabrication process computer simulation that reveals the hidden natural error compensation effects associated with the aforementioned monitoring method. We will also provide ways to find the best monitoring strategy for a given GFF design.
