Transmission Characteristics of Long-Period Fiber Gratings Having Arbitrary Azimuthal/Radial Refractive Index Variations
نویسنده
چکیده
A numerical method is presented for determining the transmittance of long-period (LP) fiber-gratings having arbitrary azimuthal/radial refractive index variations. The method uses coupled-mode theory and includes both the sine and cosine character of the LP modes. The model treats interactions between the fundamental mode and high-azimuthal-order cladding modes. The method utilizes the transfer matrix method to model cylindrical layers both in the core and the cladding regions.

Fibre Sensing System Based on Long-Period Gratings for Monitoring Aqueous Environments
Thus, environmental monitoring is a crucial factor in the ecosystems health. Actually, methods for measuring salinity are mainly based on the mobility of ions in water (Zhao et al., 2003) changing the refractive index. However, these methods are inherently electrical and can be affected by any kind of electromagnetic interference. An alternative is the use of sensors based on optical technology...
متن کاملAnalysis of optical response of long period fiber gratings to nm-thick thin-film coatings
We have theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that the resonant wavelength of long period fiber gratings (LPG) can be shifted by a large magnitude by coating with only a nm-thick thin-film that has a refractive index higher than that of the glass cladding. The resonant wavelength shift can result from either the variation of the thickness of the film and/or the variation of its refracti...

Transmission characteristics of periodically surface-corrugated long-period gratings (LPGs) inscribed on photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) using a wet-etching technique were experimentally investigated. A conventional wet method was implemented to periodically engrave the silica cladding region of the PCFs resulting in the periodic surface corrugation in the PCF. After applying the external strain...

Transmission characteristics of microtapered long-period fiber gratings (MTLPGs) and their strain and temperature sensitivities with variations in the waist diameters are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Transmission characteristics of MTLPGs strongly depend on the waist diameter of the tapered optical fiber (TOF) because of the modification of the effective index difference betwe...
