Demonstration of mode conversion using anti-symmetric waveguide Bragg gratings.
We experimentally demonstrate a novel grating which only produces reflection with mode conversion in a two-mode waveguide. That characteristic can improve the performance of optical devices that currently use tilted Bragg gratings to provide the mode conversion. Tilted Bragg gratings produce also reflections without mode conversion which increases noise and crosstalk of the optical device.
متن کاملNonreciprocal waveguide Bragg gratings.
The use of a complex short-period (Bragg) grating which combines matched periodic modulations of refractive index and loss/gain allows asymmetrical mode coupling within a contra-directional waveguide coupler. Such a complex Bragg grating exhibits a different behavior (e.g. in terms of the reflection and transmission spectra) when probed from opposite ends. More specifically, the grating has a s...
متن کاملDemonstration of mode conversion in an irregular waveguide.
Communications wavelength waveguide mode conversion is demonstrated in an irregular metal-walled structure that was designed by using multiresolution optimization. Strong scatter and a large number of degrees of freedom allowed high-efficiency conversion in a device having a length of just a few wavelengths. The fabrication approach draws on standard semiconductor processing. Mode-selective ref...
متن کاملDynamic two-axis curvature measurement using multicore fiber Bragg gratings interrogated by arrayed waveguide gratings.
We describe the use of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) in the interrogation of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) for dynamic strain measurement. The ratiometric AWG output was calibrated in a static deflection experiment over a +/-200 microepsilon range. Dynamic strain measurement was demonstrated with a FBG in a conventional single-mode fiber mounted on the surface of a vibrating cantilever and on...
متن کاملTransverse mode selection in laser resonators using volume Bragg gratings
Power scaling of high power laser resonators is limited due to several nonlinear effects. Scaling to larger mode areas can offset these effects at the cost of decreased beam quality, limiting the brightness that can be achieved from the multi-mode system. In order to improve the brightness from such multi-mode systems, we present a method of transverse mode selection utilizing volume Bragg grat...
