Control of the wavelength dependent thermo-optic coefficients in structured fibres.

چکیده
By controlling the fibre geometry, the fraction of optical field within the holes and the inserted material of a photonic crystal fibre, we demonstrate that it is possible to engineer any arbitrary wavelength-dependent thermo-optic coefficient. The possibility of making a fibre with a zero temperature dependent thermo-optic coefficient, ideal for packaging of structured fibre gratings, is proposed and explored.

Simultaneous Temperature and Strain Sensing for Cryogenic Applications Using Dual-Wavelength Fiber Bragg Gratings
A new technique has been developed for sensing both temperature and strain simultaneously by using dual-wavelength fiber-optic Bragg gratings. Two Bragg gratings with different wavelengths were inscribed at the same location in an optical fiber to form a sensor. By measuring the wavelength shifts that resulted from the fiber being subjected to different temperatures and strains, the wavelength-...
متن کاملA Temperature-Insensitive Cladding-Etched Fiber Bragg Grating Using a Liquid Mixture with a Negative Thermo-Optic Coefficient
To compensate for the temperature dependency of a standard FBG, a cladding-etched FBG immersed with a liquid mixture having a negative thermo-optic coefficient is presented, and its characteristics are investigated. The Bragg wavelength of the cladding-etched FBG is shifted counter to the direction of the Bragg wavelength shift of a conventional FBG according to the mixing ratio of glycerin to ...

Using a compact (0.03 mm(2)) silicon-photonic bias-free thermo-optic cross-bar switch, we demonstrate microsecond-scale switching of twenty wavelength channels of a C-band wavelength-division multiplexed optical ring network, each carrying 10 Gbit/second data concurrently, with 15 mW electrical power consumption (no temperature control required). A convenient pulsed driving scheme is demonstrat...
متن کاملPerformance of thermo-optic components based on dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides
Theoretical analysis of thermo-optic (TO) modulation with dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide (DLSPPW) components at telecom wavelength of 1.55 mm is presented with simulations performed using the finite-element method (FEM). The investigated DLSPPW configuration consists of a 1 mm-thick and 1 mm-wide polymer ridge placed on a 50 nm-thin gold stripe and supported by a buffer l...
