All-optically tuned fiber Bragg grating delay line by self-pumping

In this paper, based on the nonlinear coupled model equations of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) under self-pumping circumstances and by semi-implicity Runge-Kutta method, dynamic simulation model is established. By this model in case of self-pumping, the characteristics of all-optically tuned group delay of transmission optical pulse are discussed in detail. The paper studies how the delay time of transmission pulse is affected by the parameters of grating and incidence pulse, and analyzes the conditions for obtaining the optimally tuned delay. Results show that the optimal combination of grating parameters, operating wavelength, and pulse parameters should be carefully selected for obtaining delay maximum and actually realizing all-optically tuned delay of dispersionless transmission pulse.

基于光纤布拉格光栅与长周期光栅并联的集成光学传感器

为了提高光纤传感器的性能和进一步缩小传感器的尺寸,通过实验制备出一种基于光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)与长周期光栅(LPG)并联的新型集成光学传感器。该传感器中的FBG和LPG是利用飞秒激光直写技术直接在普通单模光纤中刻写的。FBG和LPG是并联关系,因此很大程度地缩小了传感器的长度。外界的温度和折射率的变化会引起FBG和LPG的谐振峰波长位置发生变化,据此对该集成传感器进行温度和折射率测量。实验结果表明:FBG谐振峰对折射率和温度的灵敏度分别为0 nm/RIU和12.98 pm/℃,而LPG在1 555 nm附近谐振峰对折射率和温度的灵敏度为196.46 nm/RIU和10.93 pm/℃。因此,根据双参数传感矩阵,该传感器可以对温度和外界折射率进行同时传感。

Design of triangular FBG filter for sensor applications using covariance matrix adapted evolution algorithm

The design of triangular fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) filters using covariance matrix adapted evolution strategy (CMAES) algorithm is presented. The TFBG filter can be used as a readout device in FBG-based sensor applications. Two different filter design problems are investigated. The first problem is the design of TFBG filter for a specified bandwidth. The other is maximizing the bandwidth of the TFBG filter for a given grating length and maximum index modulation of the FBG. A more practical asymmetrical triangular FBG filter design is also considered. The results show that for the same grating length and maximum index modulation, a larger bandwidth can be achieved with a chirped grating. The maximized bandwidth design can be used to achieve the maximum possible bandwidth for the specified grating length, maximum index modulation and chirp rate. The results obtained using CMAES algorithm (codes available at http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/epnsugan) is compared with the results of PSO and other algorithms. Comparisons show that the CMAES algorithm is more consistent in obtaining the best solution with reduced computation time. Hence, the CMAES algorithm is effective for the design of TFBG filters for sensor applications.     

Fabrication of Dual-Wavelength Fiber Bragg Grating with a Longitudinal Stretch

A method of fabricating dual-wavelength fiber Bragg grating with a uniform phase mask is demonstrated. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation using Matrix method are given. The moving exposing technique is adopted. Good control over the grating’s reflectivity and the separation of the two Bragg wavelengths is enabled by adjusting the stretch, the length of the grating, and the exposure. A grating with two equal transmission peaks of 19.5 dB is obtained by using this method, and the separation of the two Bragg wavelengths is 0.78 nm.
