A novel dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating and its application in fiber ring laser

A novel method for fabricating dual-wavelength fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) by using one phase mask is developed. The method is based on a double-exposure technique. Our technique lends itself to writing gratings with controllable reflectivity and separation of two Bragg wavelengths. A grating with two equal transmission peaks of 20.25 dB is obtained by this method and the separation of the two Bragg wavelengths is about 0.8 nm. With the grating, we demonstrate a dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser whose interval of the two peaks is 0.8 nm. The laser's peak powers can get 3.1 mW above and have a good stability.     

An analysis of As_2S_3 chirped fiber grating formed by two-photon absorption effect

When femtosecond laser pulses interfere with chirped femtosecond laser pulses in As2S3 fiber, a chirped fiber grating is formed. An analytical expression is given to describe the chirped grating, and its Bragg reflectivity is calculated. Because of the high photosensitive effect of As2S3 material, the chirped fiber grating has a wide Bragg reflective spectrum and high reflectivity by choosing proper parameters. This indicates that the chirped fiber grating can be used as a stretcher in the femtosecond chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system.

Fabrication of high quality chirped fiber Bragg grating by establishing strain gradient

To fabricate chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) with high reflectivity and accurately controlled chirp profile with low cost, we develop the CFBG fabrication technique based on strain gradient: fabricating CFBG using fabricated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) by establishing strain gradient along the length of grating. We theoretically analyze the form of such CFBGs, and study the characteristics of gratings using piecewise-uniform approach. It is shown that increasing UV-induced index change or the length of the grating or both are the efficient ways to obtain high quality CFBG with high reflectivity and good reflection spectrum. The dispersion of this grating is decided by and varies inversely with the slope of the strain gradient along the length of the grating, not decided by UV-induced index change or by the length of grating. One can control the dispersion and the chirp profile by adjusting the slope of the strain gradient. Based on the theoretical analysis, we have fabricated CFBG whose reflectivity is maintained at 100% in a large range of strain gradients.

Minimization of dispersion for symmetric FBG optical filters

Sharp edges of the reflection spectrum of fiber Bragg gratings originate the group delay. As follows from the dispersion relations, the delay of the symmetric grating grows up with the second derivative of the reflectivity with respect to the frequency. The distortion functional is proposed for filter optimization. It is the mean square delay at fixed integral reflectivity. An analytic solution for filters with minimum distortion is obtained in the limit of weak grating.
