Package for fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and a comparative study on their polarization mode dispersion (PMD) at varying temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
A temperature-compensated material of fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which has negative thermal -expansion coefficient has been presented. The temperature coefficient of FBGs’ center wavelength is less than 0.0005 nm/°C after three-layer-structure temperature-compensated package under tension. For the first time, PMD of FBG with and without temperature compensation has been detailedly studied and measured from –20 to 60°C. The measured result shows that the PMD changes a little at varying temperature, which means that the package did not affect the PMD characteristic of FBG.

Over 70 nm Wideband Tuning of Fiber Bragg Gratings Using a Compressive Bending Technique
We demonstrate, for the first time, a silica-based fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a wavelength tuning range over 70 nm, using compressive bending given by a simple tuning package. The wide tuning range of the device (from 1614 nm to 1544 nm), covers the entire Lband and a half of the C-band. Its polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) remain low over the full op...

Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBG) have become key components in optical communications systems, and, in the same time, lightwave transmissions are more intolerant to the polarization mode dispersion. Consequently, the polarization properties of FBG are of paramount importance.
