Bragg Grating Gain Flattening Filters with Small Group Delay Ripples
نویسنده
چکیده
Group delay ripples less than 3 ps in amplitude were measured in chirped fiber Bragg gratings used as gain flattening filters. The delay ripples of cascaded filters increase as the square root of their number.

High-performance optical amplifier for WDM communication systems
Gain equalization of an EDFA is performed by introducing spectrally designed all-fiber filters in the midstage of a dual-stage fiber amplifier. Two types of filters are studied: a cascade of narrow-band Bragg gratings for discrete equalization of a finite number of channels and a wide-band Bragg grating performing equalization over the whole 1539 nm to 1557 nm range. In future work, it is plann...
متن کاملWaveguide mode in the box with an extraordinary flat dispersion curve.
The extraordinary flattening of the dispersion curve of the so-called cavity resonator integrated guided-mode resonance filters (CRIGFs) is analyzed and explained as due to the intramode coupling imposed by the external Bragg resonators. CRIGFs are composed of a grating coupler (guided-mode resonance filter, GMRF) put between two distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). They form a cavity box in wh...
متن کاملFlexible Tunable Spectrum Sliced Microwave Photonic Filter Using Parallel Fabry-Pérot Filters and Fiber Bragg Grating
A simple and low-cost spectrum sliced microwave photonic filter with high tunability has been implemented. This is based on use of two Fabry-Pérot filters with same free spectral range connected in parallel but one filter with an external fiber delay. An extension of this configuration with Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) as delay element is also demonstrated. This architecture overcomes the tuning d...
متن کاملDesign, fabrication and measurement of integrated Bragg grating optical filters
The subject of this thesis is the design, analysis, fabrication, and characterization of integrated Bragg grating optical filters. We begin by describing the design and analysis of three essential building blocks needed for integrated Bragg grating filters: waveguides, directional couplers and Bragg gratings. Next, we describe and implement a flexible fabrication methodology for building integr...
متن کاملGroup delay in Bragg grating with linear chirp
An analytic solution for Bragg grating with linear chirp in the form of confluent hypergeometric functions is analyzed in the asymptotic limit of long grating. Simple formulas for reflection coefficient and group delay are derived. The simplification makes it possible to analyze irregularities of the curves and suggest the ways of their suppression. It is shown that the increase in chirp at fix...
