Enhanced Simulation Tools For the Synthesis of Fiber Bragg Grating in Optical Communication Systems

In this paper, we are interested on simulation tools developing for designing optical component based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG), with potential uses in optical communication systems and sensors. Both principals for understanding and techniques for synthesizing fiber granting are emphasized. We focus on the two major applications, which are the design of Encoders/Decoders for optical access network based on OCDMA (Optical Code-Division Multiple Access) and compensation of chromatic dispersion. To ensure FBG reconstruction, we present an enhanced version of the two principal method of synthesizing: Layer Peeling method and genetic algorithm method. The first method is based on the Inverse Scattering problem resolution technique, the second method consists of optimizing a series of variables.
