Saturation of multiplexed volume Bragg grating recording.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recording of volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) in photo-thermo-refractive glass is limited to a maximum refractive index change about 0.002. We discuss various saturation curves and their influence on the amplitudes of recorded gratings. Special attention is given to multiplexed VBGs aimed at recording several gratings in the same volume. The best shape of the saturation curve for production of the strongest gratings is the threshold-type curve. Two-photon absorption as a mechanism of recording also allows increasing the strength of multiplexed VBGs.

Scaling the spectral beam combining channels in a multiplexed volume Bragg grating.
In order to generate high power laser radiation it is often necessary to combine multiple lasers into a single beam. The recent advances in high power spectral beam combining using multiplexed volume Bragg gratings recorded in photo-thermo-refractive glass are presented. The focus is on using multiple gratings recorded within the same volume to lower the complexity of the combining system. Comb...
متن کاملSecondary grating formation by readout at Bragg-null incidence.
We show that when a dynamic hologram is read out by illumination at the Bragg nulls of a previously recorded grating the diffracted beam inside the medium can result in the recording of two secondary gratings that alter the final selectivity curve. This is confirmed experimentally. This effect can cause cross talk in hologram multiplexing that is stronger than interpage cross talk when a small ...
متن کاملSpectral interference in multiplexed volume Bragg gratings: theoretical calculations and experimental verification.
Multiplexed volume Bragg gratings can be applied to many types of broad- and narrowband spectral systems. However, there are often deleterious side effects to combining several gratings into a single holographic optical element, including loss of efficiency in diffracted waves of interest and the introduction of spurious waves. Design of these spectral systems requires analysis methods that are...
متن کاملTime-division-multiplexed interrogation of fibre Bragg grating sensors using laser diodes
An intensity-based technique for the interrogation of fibre Bragg grating sensors is described. The technique utilizes two longitudinal modes of a single, pulsed laser diode as a dual-wavelength source for grating illumination. Time-division-multiplexed addressing of sensor arrays in serial and tree topologies is also demonstrated.
متن کاملEffect of aberrations in a holographic system on reflecting volume Bragg gratings.
The effect of aberrations in the recording beams of a holographic setup is discussed regarding the deterioration of properties of a reflecting volume Bragg grating. Imperfect recording beams result in a spatially varying grating vector, which causes broadening, asymmetry, and washed out side lobes in the reflection spectrum as well as a corresponding reduction in peak diffraction efficiency. Th...
