Numerical and Experimental Study of Mode Coupling Due to Localised Few-Mode Fibre Bragg Gratings and a Spatial Mode Multiplexer [PDF]
Mode conversion effects in Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBGs) are widely exploited in applications such as sensing and fibre lasers. However, when FBGs are inscribed into Few-mode optical Fibres (FMFs), the mode interactions become highly complex due to the ...

Temperature and Humidity Sensitivity of Polymer Optical Fibre Sensors Tuned by Pre-Strain [PDF]
Polymer optical fibre Bragg grating (POFBG) sensors are of high interest due to their enhanced fracture toughness, flexibility in bending, and sensitivity in stress and pressure monitoring applications compared to silica-based sensors.

Regularization for the inversion of fibre Bragg grating spectra [PDF]
Fibre Bragg Gratings have become widespread measurement devices in engineering and other fields of application. In all but a few cases, the relation between cause and effect is simplified to a proportional model. However, at its mathematical core lies a nonlinear inverse problem which appears not to have received much attention in the literature.

Fibre Bragg gratings and their applications [PDF]
Optical fibre Bragg gratings are the most significant new fibre device since the EDFA and will have a major impact on the design and implementation of future optical networks. Applications include single and multichannel add/drop filters, EDFA gain stabilising and spectrum flattening filters, dispersion compensation; as well as wavelength stable ...

Inscription methods for co‐located fibre Bragg gratings using small spot direct UV writing
Two methods to inscribe co‐located fibre Bragg gratings using the small spot direct UV writing technique are described and compared, namely: superimposed gratings, which are written one over the other at the same spatial location, and superstructured ...
