Broadband higher order mode conversion using chirped microbend long period gratings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We suggest a new scheme to create chirped microbend long period gratings. Employing this scheme, the bandwidth of mode conversion between LP01 to LP11 is increased 4.8-fold with a conversion efficiency of 20 dB. This scheme includes a first time demonstration of a non-linearly chirped long period grating. The scheme is investigated both numerically using coupled mode equations as well as experimentally.

For the first time long broadband chirped fiber Bragg gratings with a dispersion profile designed to compensate 3rd order-dispersion are presented.

متن کاملBroadband wavelength converters with flattop responses based on cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference frequency generation in Bessel-chirped gratings.
We investigate ultra-broadband wavelength converters based on cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference frequency generation using Bessel-chirped gratings (BCGs) in lithium niobate waveguides, and compare them to the ones using uniform grating and segmented grating, respectively. For the same length and power, the BCGs show broader bandwidth than the other two types of grating. The rip...

متن کاملSlow surface plasmon pulse excitation in metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguide with chirped grating.
A scheme for the excitation of slow surface plasmon pulses using photonic interband transition in a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide is proposed. An investigation the mode transition behavior inside the binary grating confirmed that the proposed concept can be understood in terms of the coupling of symmetric and anti-symmetric plasmonic modes. We observed that, although a binary grating th...
متن کاملNovel fiber design for broadband long period gratings
We report a novel fiber design for obtaining long period gratings (LPGs) having a broad transmission spectrum. These gratings are based on guided to guided mode coupling in a staircase profile fiber. Numerical simulations predict 20 dB bandwidths as high as 100 nm and an estimated insertion loss of less than 1 dB. Such broadband LPGs are expected to find applications in many all fiber components.
