چکیده

Embedded channel waveguide Bragg gratings are fabricated in the Ormocer® hybrid polymers OrmoComp®, OrmoCore, and OrmoClad by employing a single writing step technique based on phase mask technology and KrF excimer laser irradiation. All waveguide Bragg gratings exhibit well-defined reflection peaks within the telecom wavelengths range with peak heights of up to 35 dB and -3 dB-bandwidths of down to 95 pm. Furthermore, the dependency of the fabricated embedded channel waveguide Bragg gratings on changes of the temperature and relative humidity are investigated. Here, we found that the Bragg grating in OrmoComp® is significantly influenced by humidity variations, while the Bragg gratings in OrmoCore and OrmoClad exhibit linear and considerably high temperature sensitivities of up to -250 pm/ ∘ C and a linear dependency on the relative humidity in the range of -9 pm/%.

Simultaneous 2D Strain Sensing Using Polymer Planar Bragg Gratings

We demonstrate the application of polymer planar Bragg gratings for multi-axial strain sensing and particularly highlight simultaneous 2D strain measurement. A polymer planar Bragg grating (PPBG) fabricated with a single writing step in bulk polymethylmethacrylate is used for measuring both tensile and compressive strain at various angles. It is shown that the sensitivity of the PPBG strongly d...

Numerical analysis of nonuniform Bragg gratings

The characteristics of guided waves scattered by nonuniform Bragg waveguide gratings are systematically investigated by using a staircase approximation, which is a combination of the building blocks of the multimode network theory and a rigorous mode-matching procedure. The bent dielectric waveguides, periodically with Bragg gratings of rectangular profile and chirped waveguide gratings, are ta...
