چکیده
We report on experimental results related to the time response of Fiber Bragg Gratings. From the experimental data it is possible to retrieve important parameters such as the response delay and the grating switching time, which are properties of relevance for understanding the operation of fast tuning devices.

Using Genetic Algorithm for Parameter Reconstruction of a Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating
We propose a novel method for multiple parameters and phase reconstruction of a chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) through two thermally-modulated reflection intensity spectra and genetic algorithm. Two temperature distributions are used to modulate the chirped FBG’s intensity spectrum in order to synthesize FBG’s parameters through a genetic algorithm. Thus, the phase response can be reconstruc...
متن کاملThermal properties of fiber Bragg gratings inscribed point-by-point by an infrared femtosecond laser
Direct, point-by-point inscription of fiber Bragg gratings by infrared femtosecond laser had been recently reported. Response of these gratings to annealing at temperatures in range 500C to 1050C is studied for the first time. Gratings inscribed by infrared femtosecond lasers were thermally stable at temperatures up to 900C, representing a significant improvement in comparison with the “common”...

We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied. The effects of FBG length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on FBG cha...
متن کاملTechnique for Estimating the Tuning Speed of Fiber Bragg Gratings
The measurement of the tuning speed in fiber Bragg gratings is an increasingly important parameter for characterizing the dynamics of tunable devices. Optical spectrum analyzers and wavelength meters are not suitable due to their slow response for measuring the wavelength shift in time. In this paper we report on a technique for estimating the tuning speed of a fiber Bragg grating which is base...
متن کاملTemporal thermal response of Type II-IR fiber Bragg gratings.
We use the phase mask method to investigate both experimentally and theoretically the temporal thermal response of Type II-IR fiber Bragg gratings inscribed by a femtosecond laser. A fast testing system is developed to measure the thermal response time by means of periodic CO2 laser irradiation, which creates a rapid temperature change environment. The temporal thermal response is found to be i...
