Fast and accurate group delay ripple measurement technique for ultralong chirped fiber Bragg gratings

A simple and very precise group delay ripple (GDR) measurement technique for linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) is proposed. It is based on real-time optical Fourier transformation of an ultrashort pulse directly induced by the CFBG dispersion. We have experimentally demonstrated highly accurate characterization of the GDR profile of a commercial 10-m-long CFBG with a dispersion of +2000 ps/nm, having achieved a remarkably small standard deviation in our measurements of about 4 ps over a bandwidth of 28 nm. The proposed method has the unique potential to provide real-time GDR monitoring (in the MHz range) by use of commercially available high-speed sampling electronics.

A novel method of optimal apodization selection for chirped fiber Bragg gratings

Apodization is a crucial technology for improving the dispersion performance of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). In this paper, we focus on how to select an optimal apodization for chirped fiber Bragg gratings and demonstrate a novel apodization selection method capable of choosing the optimal apodization based on the relationship between the bandwidth change and variation in average group delay ripple (GDR). Compared with current approaches, the novel method can select an optimal apodization profile and parameter for FBGs easily and accurately. Two numerical experiments are used to demonstrate the advantages of this method, one exhibits the different performances of five different apodization profiles, the other evaluates the influence of FBG parameters such as grating length, period, chirp, and index change on the apodization performance.     

Optimization of the apodization strength of linearly chirped Bragg gratings for span dispersion compensation

We present an optimization process for the apodization strength factor of fiber Bragg grating dispersion compensators. It will be demonstrated that a proper choice of the apodization strength factor results in minimum deviation of the dispersion from the required level, maximum reflection bandwidth and minimum group delay ripple impact, thus leading to a reduction of the Q-factor penalty of the dispersion compensating system. We also discuss the influence of the fiber link length in the determination of the optimum apodization strength factor, taking into account that shorter links minimize the group delay ripple amplitude, whereas the longer ones maximize the bandwidth of interest. It is determined that a fiber link length of ～80 km can balance the requirements of group delay ripple impact and bandwidth. The results obtained through this analysis allow a faster modeling of the Bragg grating parameters in order to achieve an improved spectral performance, as well as a cost-effective fabrication process.     

Fiber-based tunable dispersion compensation

Tunable dispersion has been implemented in various technology platforms, including fiber gratings, planar waveguides, thin film etalons, and bulk optic technologies. This paper will focus on fiber grating based tunable dispersion compensation, because fiber gratings are at present one of the best developed TDC technologies available. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part we describe grating based TDC technologies and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. We focus on thermally tuned linearly chirped fiber gratings, as these have to date been the most successful grating technology for 40 Gbit/s. We also compare grating TDCs to two other prominent tunable dispersion technologies: thin film etalons and planar waveguide ring resonators. In the second section we describe the techniques used to fabricate high performance dispersion compensation gratings as well as the theory of the primary defect of fiber grating dispersion compensation: group delay ripple (GDR). In the third section we describe the telecom system related issues for tunable gratings, including characterization of grating performance, tunability requirements and results from actual system trials using tunable FBGs.

Dispersion compensation in transmission using uniform long period fiber gratings

It is proposed that the high dispersion at the transmission band edges of uniform long period gratings (LPG) fabricated on relatively high Δ fibers can be used for efficient dispersion compensation. Since the transmission of LPG varies with length of the grating or refractive index modulation, we show that it is possible to tailor the transmission spectrum to obtain high transmission with constant dispersion and negligible delay ripple over a reasonable bandwidth. Since the proposed structure works in transmission it should be suitable for fiber optic communication links.     

Effect of sinusoidal ripples in refractive index profile distribution on the performance characteristics of dual concentric core step index fiber Raman amplifier

Phased matched wavelength, effective area, effective Raman gain, and wave guide dispersion are computed from exact numerical solution assuming scalar wave equation in the presence and absence of ripples as imperfections in the refractive index profile in dual cores of single mode fiber Raman amplifier for the first time. It is observed that for larger values of amplitude and lower frequencies, the effective Raman gain increases w.r.t. that calculated with no ripples. However, we assume ripple amplitude up to 5% of core cladding refractive index difference w.r.t. the available data, corresponding to the three ranges of relative ripple amplitudes of 1%, 2%, 3% and ripple frequencies of 1, 2, 3 μm⁻¹. Based on these data, we analyse performance of FRA over frequency shift band of 20–700 cm⁻¹. Uniformity of gain is interestingly seen to be maintained for higher ripple frequency and lower amplitude. However, no prominent effect in coefficient of dispersion and phase matched wavelength is observed within operating range of wavelength. Also, based on available structural parameter, the investigation should find use as a guide to system users to know the limit and promise of existence of ripples.     

Fiber Bragg gratings for dispersion compensation in optical communication systems

This paper presents an overview of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) fabrication principles and applications with emphasis on the chirped FBG used for dispersion compensation in high-speed optical communication systems. We discuss the range of FBG parameters enabled by current fabrication methods, as well as the relation between the accuracy of FBG parameters and the performance of FBG-based dispersion compensators. We describe the theory of the group delay ripple (GDR) generated by apodized chirped fiber gratings using the analogy between noisy gratings and superstructure Bragg gratings. This analysis predicts the fundamental cutoff of the high frequency spatial noise of grating parameters in excellent agreement with the experimental data. We review the iterative GDR correction technique, which further improves the FBG quality and potentially enables consistent fabrication of FBG-based dispersion compensators and tunable dispersion compensators with unprecedented performance.
