Numerical Analysis of Thermal Dependence of the Spectral Response of Polymer Optical Fiber Bragg Gratings [PDF]
Iraqi Journal for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2016 The thermal dependence of the spectral response (i.e. transmission, reflection and time delay (r) responses) of uniform polymer optical fiber (POF) Bragg gratings has been investigated. In addition to the temperature dependence, the effects of grating
