چکیده

This paper presents the design and simulation of a rectangular plate optical pressure sensor waveguide. The waveguide has a nano-scale Bragg grating introduced on the upper half area. The Bragg grating shows a considerable deformation, when it is subjected to tangential strain, which forms the basic sensing principal for the design. The free space wavelength of 1.55μm and Bragg spacing of 0.5μm is used. The performance of the Bragg sensor for different types of grating is also observed and compared. The maximum sensitivity counted for a pressure of 300bar was about 2.436dBm/μm. After analyzing the simulation results of types of grating, it is found that chirped fiber grating gives the better reflectivity, with maximum suppressed side lobes. The design is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.2a. KeywordsWave guide, Reflectivity, Bragg Grating, Chirped Grating, Tilted Grating. ————————————————————

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks

This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...
