    • The method allows for accurate and prescribed control over the spectral response of Bragg gratings.
    • The designed support structure enables independent tuning of spectral width and center wavelength.
    • Strain transfer from the support structure effectively modifies the grating's spectral characteristics.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique offers a straightforward approach to precisely engineer the spectral properties of optical waveguide Bragg gratings.
    • The developed method has potential applications in tunable optical filters, sensors, and communication systems.
    • The independent control over spectral width and center wavelength enhances the versatility of Bragg grating devices.
