Fiber-Bragg-Grating Based Optical Amplifiers
In this chapter, we propose several schemes for fiber amplifiers which are all using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) as the key elements for their advantages of better uniformity, higher contrast ratio and lower cost. Several applications using FBG-based fiber amplifiers are also introduced. Therefore, this chapter initiates the overview of FBGs characteristics in Sec. 1, then addresses the FBGs pl...
متن کاملOptimization of Bistability in Nonlinear Chalcogenide Fiber Bragg Grating for All Optical Switch and Memory Applications
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 کاملTheory of Fiber Optical Bragg Grating- Revisited
The reflected signature of an optical fiber Bragg grating is analyzed using the transfer function method. This approach is capable to cast all relevant quantities into proper places and provides a better physical understanding. The relationship between reflected signal, number of periods, index of refraction, and reflected wave phase is elucidated. The condition for which the maximum reflectivi...
متن کاملFiber Bragg grating based four-bit optical beamformer
In this paper we implement and characterize a two-channel optical programmable beamformer. The system is designed to achieve four-bit resolution. The architecture of the programmable dispersion matrix is based on an array of four delay-lines each having two spliced fiber Bragg gratings. We have experimentally investigated the optical signal processing performance of the optical beamformer in re...
متن کامل2x2 Bismuth-Oxide-Fiber Based Crossbar Switch for All-Optical Switching Architectures
We demonstrate an optically controlled 2x2 Crossbar switch suitable for all-optical switching architectures. The switch is based on an Ultrafast Nonlinear Interferometer (UNI) configuration and uses 80 centimeters of highly nonlinear Bismuth Oxide fiber. Error-free operation is demonstrated with 10 and 40 Gb/s input signals, with power penalties in its BAR and CROSS states of less than 0.3 dB a...
