A tunable chirped grating device for an optical fiber, wherein the grating has equal spacings between index perturbations. A piezoelectric element is bonded to the optical fiber for changing the perturbation spacings according to an applied voltage, and a voltage source applys the voltage to the piezoelectric element. Since a predetermined piezoelectric element is bonded to an optical fiber provided with a grating having regular spacings and the perturbation spacings can be differently deformed by applying different electric field to respective perturbation positions by the piezoelectric element, then the resulting in a chirped grating device, whose manufacturing procedure is simple and which has flexibility, can provide adjustable chirping rates of the reflected wavelengths waves.
