Brillouin lasing in single-mode tapered optical fiber with inscribed fiber Bragg grating array [PDF]
A tapered optical fiber has been manufactured with an array of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) inscribed during the drawing process. The total fiber peak reflectivity is 5% and the reflection bandwidth is ∼3.5 nm. A coherent frequency domain reflectometry has

Bragg Grating Waveguide Array Ultrafast Laser Inscribed into the Cladding of a Flat Fiber [PDF]
We report the fabrication and initial characterization of a waveguide sensor array in the cladding of a flat fiber. The sensor, designed to independently measure the strain on three Bragg grating waveguides, exploits the true three dimensional ...

Multimode Graded Index Fiber with Random Array of Bragg Gratings and Its Raman Lasing Properties [PDF]
Light propagation in multimode fibers is known to experience various nonlinear effects, which are being actively studied. One of the interesting effects is the brightness enhancement at the Raman conversion of the multimode beam in graded index (GRIN ...

Random lasing in a short Er-doped artificial Rayleigh fiber
We report on random lasing observed with 5-m-long Er-doped fiber comprising an array of weak fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) inscribed in the fiber core and uniformly distributed over the whole fiber length.
