Simulation and Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Gratings

چکیده
We have simulated the behaviors of nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The generalized nonlinear equations governing these structures are solved by a method which uses a Fourier series procedure and a simple iterative method. All of the nonlinear effects are considered. Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs are studied. We found that the first order dispersion can causes time shifting in the input pulse peak. It is shown that FBGs are proper for optical switching too. They can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc. Key-Words: Nonlinear Fiber Bragg gratings, Modulation intensity, Solitons, Birefringence, Optical switches, Simulation

متن کاملPoint-by-point inscription of first-order fiber Bragg grating for C-band applications.
The influence of the fiber geometry on the point-by-point inscription of fiber Bragg gratings using a femtosecond laser is highlighted. Fiber Bragg gratings with high spectral quality and strong first-order Bragg resonances within the C-band are achieved by optimizing the inscription process. Large birefringence (1.2x10(-4)) and high degree of polarization-dependent index modulation are observe...

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...
