Tunable Bragg peak response in liquid-crystal-infiltrated photonic crystals
We report the dependence of the first-order Bragg peak position and width on the liquid-crystal and backbone refractive indices for liquid-crystal-infiltrated large-pore inverse shell opals, which offer increased volume for electro-optic infiltration. We also present the dependence of the photonic response on the template architecture or liquid-crystal volume fraction, which can be manipulated ...
متن کاملPressure Effects on the Temperature Sensitivity of Fiber Bragg Gratings
A 3-dimensional physical model was developed to relate the wavelength shifts resulting from temperature changes of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) to the thermal expansion coefficients, Young’s moduli of optical fibers, and thicknesses of coating polymers. Using this model the Bragg wavelength shifts were calculated and compared with the measured wavelength shifts of FBGs with various coating thick...
متن کاملElectrically tunable Bragg gratings in single-mode polymer optical fiber.
We present what is to our knowledge the first demonstration of a tunable fiber Bragg grating device in polymer optical fiber that utilizes a thin-film resistive heater deposited on the surface of the fiber. The polymer fiber was coated via photochemical deposition of a Pd/Cu metallic layer with a procedure induced by vacuum-ultraviolet radiation at room temperature. The resulting device, when w...
متن کاملFlexoelectric polarisation effects in nematic liquid crystal phase gratings
Nematic phase gratings have been studied in which a planar nematic layer of thickness 17.2 μm is sandwiched between two glass substrates coated with an alignment polymer. The upper substrate is a continuous earth plane and the lower substrate has a patterned electrode of interdigitated stripes (electrodes and gaps are both 40 μm wide). Reorientation of the nematic liquid crystal occurs in respo...
متن کاملApodised Bragg gratings in planar waveguides for add-drop filters
We report on the fabrication by electron-beam lithography of Bragg gratings, which serve as wavelength-selective elements of a Mach–Zehnder-type add-drop filter. To meet telecommunication network requirements, the gratings must have about 20 000 lines, corresponding to a length on the order of 10 mm. Furthermore, the coupling strength of the gratings has to be varied according to a bell-shaped ...
