A dimensional crossover in an external magnetic field, applied parallel to the layers, has been found for superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) bilayers of Nb/CuNi. For decreasing temperature the square-root 2D-behaviour of the upper critical magnetic field, Bc2||(T) on the temperature, in the vicinity of the critical temperature Tc switches to the linear 3D-behaviour below the crossover temperature, Tcr. The 2D-3D crossover also occurs concerning the temperature dependence of superconducting fluctuations in the critical fluctuation regime. The fluctuation conductivity exhibits a 2D-behaviour in zero- and weak magnetic fields close to Tc, switching to a 3D-behaviour in strong magnetic fields at low temperatures. In a S/F bilayer the quasi-one dimensional Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) like state is realized, so that the superconducting properties are governed by interference effects of the pairing wave functions, i.e. by the pairing function flux through the S/F interface.
