چکیده
A modified prism-based method for fabricating Bragg gratings in optical fibers is introduced. We have made an optical fiber Bragg grating at 799.67 nm by using a 45 degrees right-angle prism and a frequency-doubled argon-ion laser at 244 nm. The advantage of this method is ease of alignment.

Optical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملFiber Bragg Grating Sensors and Sensor Arrays
Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg gr...
متن کاملSuppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers using fiber Bragg gratings.
We propose a novel scheme for suppressing stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers. The scheme makes use of a single or a sampled Bragg grating fabricated within the fiber used for transmitting intense Q-switched pulses. The grating is designed such that the spectrum of the Stokes pulse generated through stimulated Brillouin scattering falls entirely within its stop band. We show numer...
متن کاملFabrication of polymer-SiO2 nanocomposite optical fibers with a new method
At first step polymer optical fibers (POFs) are used in short distance for optical data transmissions. At second step SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by sonochemical-assisted method. Silica nanoparticles were added to polymer matrix to prepare polymer based nanocomposites. Most of the POF applications are in the medical and electrical devices. There are several methods for fabrication of POFs,...
متن کاملPhoto-thermal Growth of Unsaturated and Saturated Bragg Gratings in Phosphate Glass Fibers
We demonstrate that the strong thermal growth of fiber Bragg gratings in phosphate glass fibers at temperatures between 100 – 250 °C requires the seed gratings written using 193 nm light to be overexposed beyond saturation. 2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.3735) Fiber Bragg gratings; (060.3738) Fiber Bragg gratings, photosensitivity; (120.6810) Thermal effects; (060.2290) Fiber...
