چکیده
A novel type of fiber Bragg grating is produced by annealing a type I-like grating that is written with multiple infrared femtosecond laser pulses through a phase mask under conditions that are typically used to fabricate thermally stable type II gratings. This new grating is created through a process similar to a regenerative one and displays low loss and high resilience in a 1000 °C ambient environment. Such gratings are ideally suited for quasi-distributed sensing at high temperatures.

متن کاملUltrafast femtosecond-laser-induced fiber Bragg gratings in air-hole microstructured fibers for high-temperature pressure sensing.
We present fiber Bragg grating pressure sensors in air-hole microstructured fibers for high-temperature operation above 800 degrees C. An ultrafast laser was used to inscribe Type II grating in two-hole optical fibers. The fiber Bragg grating resonance wavelength shift and peak splits were studied as a function of external hydrostatic pressure from 15 psi to 2000 psi. The grating pressure senso...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional optical ring resonators based on radial Bragg resonance.
A Bragg-reflection-based ring resonator is proposed and analyzed. Closed-form expressions for the field and dispersion curves for radial Bragg gratings and photonic bandgap crystals are derived. The required gratings exhibit a chirped period and a varying index profile. Small bending radii and strong control over the resonator dispersion are possible by the Bragg confinement. Large free spectra...
