Postfabrication resonance peak positioning of long-period cladding-mode-coupled gratings.

چکیده
A simple, flexible method of postfabrication positioning of resonance wavelengths of long-period cladding-modecoupled gratings is proposed. This method is based on changing the outer fiber diameter. Reducing the diameter by etching the fiber in HF acid shifts the loss peaks to higher wavelengths. A shift as large as 130 nm after 5 min of HF etching was observed for our strongest grating peak, corresponding to the cladding mode HE19. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with model calculations.

Cladding-mode-assisted recouplings in concatenated long-period and fiber Bragg gratings.
We investigate new types of mode recouplings in a concatenated grating structure comprising a long-period grating and a fiber Bragg grating. It is demonstrated that the light coupled out to the cladding mode by one of these gratings can be recoupled back to the guided mode by the other grating. Theoretical analysis based on the coupled-mode theory is presented, together with experimental results.
متن کاملTransmission Characteristics of Long-Period Fiber Gratings Having Arbitrary Azimuthal/Radial Refractive Index Variations
A numerical method is presented for determining the transmittance of long-period (LP) fiber-gratings having arbitrary azimuthal/radial refractive index variations. The method uses coupled-mode theory and includes both the sine and cosine character of the LP modes. The model treats interactions between the fundamental mode and high-azimuthal-order cladding modes. The method utilizes the transfer...
متن کاملDemonstration of an Ultra-Wide Wavelength Tunable Band Rejection Filter Implemented with Photonic Crystal Fiber
Press-induced long-period fiber gratings exhibiting strong core-to-cladding mode coupling were formed in photonic crystal fiber. Only one resonance peak was observed over a 600 nm spectral range and the resonant wavelength was tuned over the whole range by tilting a groove plate before pressing the fiber. The resonant wavelength decreased with increasing periodicity of the grating, which was op...

| In this paper we discuss theoretical and experimental aspects of nonlinear pulse propagation in long-period ber gratings. We derive nonlinear coupled mode equations for co-propagating core and cladding modes in a long-period ber grating and show that the intensity dependent index can be used to tune the mode coupling, thereby creating a mechanism for pulse shaping and all-optical switching. E...
متن کاملScaling property and multi-resonance of PCF-based long period gratings.
In a long period grating (LPG) made on a silica-based single material photonic crystal fibre (PCF), the effect of material dispersion on the resonance wavelength of the LPG is negligible. The resonance wavelength, the period and length of the LPG, and the diameter and pitch of the air-hole lattice of the PCF are found to obey a scaling law that is derived from the scaling property of the Maxwel...
