چکیده

A new method for sample fiber Bragg grating fabrication by use of both femtosecond laser and CO(2) laser has been proposed and demonstrated. Such a method exhibits the advantages of high fabrication flexibility, and good thermal stability. The sampling period and duty cycle can be easily varied by changing the CO(2) laser beam scanning pattern during operation. The gratings produced have potential applications in optical communications, fiber lasers, and optical fiber sensors.

Femtosecond-laser-inscribed sampled fiber Bragg grating with ultrahigh thermal stability.

We have successfully fabricated a series of sampled fiber Bragg gratings with easily adjustable sampling periods and duty cycles using an 800 nm femtosecond laser point-by-point inscription. The thermal stability of the fabricated fiber gratings was investigated using isochronal annealing tests, which indicated that the fiber gratings are capable of maintaining high reflectivity at temperatures...

<Edited by Milan Brandt and Erol Harvey> POINT BY POINT FEMTOSECOND LASER INSCRIPTION OF FIBRE AND WAVEGUIDE BRAGG GRATINGS FOR PHOTONIC DEVICE FABRICATION

We present a flexible and rapid method for the production of Bragg gratings in a range of optical waveguides such as optical fibres and direct laser-written waveguides in bulk media. Using a low repetition rate (1 kHz) femtosecond laser, Bragg grating structures can be written in a point-by-point fashion (where each laser pulse inscribes one period of the Bragg structure) in both passive and ac...

Temporal thermal response of Type II-IR fiber Bragg gratings.

We use the phase mask method to investigate both experimentally and theoretically the temporal thermal response of Type II-IR fiber Bragg gratings inscribed by a femtosecond laser. A fast testing system is developed to measure the thermal response time by means of periodic CO2 laser irradiation, which creates a rapid temperature change environment. The temporal thermal response is found to be i...

Composite Cavity Fiber Laser with Asymmetric Output Intensity and Wavelength

The composite cavity fiber laser (CCFL) is relatively simple in its fabrication, as it is essentially three wavelength matched Bragg gratings in a section of doped fiber. By using internal feedback with unequal sub-cavity lengths, unidirectional CCFLs with significantly asymmetric output power from its two outputs can be achieved. Preliminary results also show that it is possible for the lasing...

Direct Fabrication of Planar Grating by Ultrafast Laser Beam

Femtosecond laser pulse has been used for the machining of the gratings primarily due to its superior advantages over conventional continuous wave (CW) and long pulse lasers for micromachining. In this paper, we develop a novel technique for the fabrication of planar gratings by colliding two beams to generate interference fringes. This technique is simple, fast and low cost. We have successful...
