چکیده
In this paper we review some of the dominant topics in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The combination of theory and simulations shows that these structures can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc. We discussed the theory of FBGs, grating solitons, Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs together with some numerical simulations for nonlinear coupled equations governing them. Key-Words: Fiber Bragg grating, simulation, nonlinear effects, birefringence, solitons

The influence of the Kerr-like nonlinearity in the switching characteristics of fiber Bragg gratings is studied. Two types of apodization profiles are considered: uniform and raisedcosine apodized gratings. The influence of the bit-rate and the wavelength detuning of the incident pulses in the nonlinear response of the grating is analyzed. The deterioration in the pulses caused by the nonlinear...

We study numerically the nonlinear switching characteristics of optical pulses transmitted though fiber Bragg gratings. We consider both the uniform and phase-shifted gratings and compare their performance as a nonlinear switch. The nonlinear coupled-mode equations were solved numerically to obtain the pulse-switching characteristics. The steady-state behavior known to occur for continuous-wave...
