Direct characterization of the spatial effective refractive index profile in Bragg gratings

, 2005
We propose a pulse response method to directly characterize the phase of the spatial index modulation, including the dc refractive index distribution (distributed phase shift), discrete phase, and chirp of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs).
