A fibre Bragg grating refractometer

Measurement Science and Technology, 2001
An opto-chemical in-fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensor for refractive index measurement in liquids has been developed using fibre side-polishing technology. At a polished site where the fibre cladding has partly been removed, a FBG is exposed to a liquid analyte via evanescent field interaction of the guided fibre mode. The Bragg wavelength of the FBG is

Regenerated femtosecond fibre Bragg gratings

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
We demonstrate the thermal regeneration of fibre Bragg gratings inscribed by direct writing using a femtosecond, infrared laser into standard SMF-28 and pure silica core fibres. Post-H2 loading was used. The regeneration process is shown to extend the temperature operation of these gratings up to 1200°C.

Dispersion-free fibre Bragg gratings

OFC 2001. Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibit. Technical Digest Postconference Edition (IEEE Cat. 01CH37171), 2001
Fibre Bragg gratings with reduced/eliminated in-band dispersion are presented. When tested in add-drop configurations at 10 Gbit/s both 25 GHz and 50 GHz bandwidth gratings are shown to exhibit superior performance with no dispersion-induced penalties in the stopband.

Fibre Bragg gratings for temporal spectral astronomy

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
Temporal spectral astronomy or time resolved astronomy is the study of astrophysical phenomena that show spectral variability on very short timescales. These timescales are often too short to be resolved by current astronomical equipment. The lack of detailed observations in this area keeps important theoretical descriptions of astronomical events ...

Fibre Bragg grating sensor for respiratory monitoring

ACOFT/AOS 2006 - Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology/Australian Optical Society, 2006
A temperature sensor based on fibre Bragg gratings has been used to monitor human respiration. We discuss the thermodynamic properties of the sensor and present the general performance characteristics of the system.

Hydrostatic pressure sensitivity of standard polymer fibre Bragg gratings and etched polymer fibre Bragg gratings

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
The hydrostatic pressure sensitivity of polymer optical fibre Bragg grating of different diameters is investigated. For this purpose Bragg gratings are inscribed in single-mode polymer fibre and also in etched single-mode polymer fibre. The inherent pressure sensitivity of the grating are experimentally investigated up-to 1MPa by monitoring the change ...

Fibre Bragg Gratings Inscribed in Homemade Microstructured Fibres

Chinese Physics Letters, 2007
Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) are inscribed in homemade microstructured fibres by the standard phase mask method. Enhanced couplings between the forward fundamental mode and backward cladding modes are obtained. The mode coupling and spectral characteristics are investigated experimentally.

Moir  Fibre Bragg Grating Written on Strained Fibres

Chinese Physics Letters, 2004
Moire fibre Bragg gratings are made in a single mode fibre and a polarization-maintaining fibre respectively, using an excimer KrF laser and a phase mask. Two gratings are written at the same location of the optical fibre. The wavelength spacing can be finely tuned from 0 to 1.86 nm by straining the optical fibre during UV illumination.
