Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Gratings
In this paper we review some of the dominant topics in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The combination of theory and simulations shows that these structures can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc. We discussed the theory of FBGs, grating solitons, Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs together with some numerical s...
متن کاملGNOSIS: an OH suppression unit for near-infrared spectrographs
GNOSIS is an OH suppression unit to be used in conjunction with existing spectrographs. The OH suppression is achieved using fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs), and will deliver the darkest near-infrared background of any ground-based instrument. Laboratory and on-sky tests demonstrate that FBGs can suppress OH lines by 30dB whilst maintaing > 90% throughput between the lines, resulting in a ≈ 4 mag d...
متن کاملChirped in-fiber Bragg gratings for compensation
It is well known that chirped (aperiodic) refractiveindex Bragg gratings can be used for compensating for the dispersion of optical fiber waveguides.' When used in reflection mode (in contrast to transmission mode), such Bragg gratings exhibit large dispersion. As well, the sign of the dispersion in reflection mode is easily controlled. Together these two characteristics suggest the use of chir...
متن کاملBulk regeneration of optical fiber Bragg gratings.
The reliability and reproducibility of regenerated gratings for mass production is assessed through simultaneous bulk regeneration of 10 gratings. The gratings are characterized and variations are compared after each stage of fabrication, including seed (room-temperature UV fabrication), regeneration (annealing at 850°C), and postannealing (annealing at 1100°C). In terms of Bragg wavelength (λ(...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of fiber Bragg gratings
This thesis is mainly a study of theoretical issues in the field of fiber Bragg gratings. The synthesis problem of gratings is investigated in detail. This applies to synthesis based on desired, complex spectra in reflection as well as in transmission. In addition, methods for characterization of fiber gratings are proposed. For the synthesis problem of gratings, a genetic algorithm and a layer...
