Tunable long-period fiber grating

SPIE Proceedings, 2003
Long-period fiber grating (LPFG) having grating periodicity in the hundreds of microns, functions as a band rejection filter. This device is useful for gain equalizing applications of fiber amplifiers.The transmission characteristics are mainly determined by the initial fabricating conditions such as grating periodicity and UV exposure time. Therefore,

Long-period fiber grating based on inner microholes in optical fiber

Optics Letters, 2021
A new, to the best of our knowledge, type of long-period fiber grating based on inner microholes in an optical fiber core is proposed and demonstrated. The device is fabricated by first using a femtosecond laser to write a series of vertical short line structures in the core of a single-mode fiber, followed by discharge of the short line areas with a ...

Long-period fiber gratings

Bragg Gratings, Photosensitivity, and Poling in Glass Fibers and Waveguides: Applications and Fundamentals, 1997
Long period fiber gratings that couple light from guided core modes to non-guided cladding modes provide a means of introducing wavelength dependent losses in optical fiber systems.1 As a result, these in-fiber devices have found use as gain-equalizers in broadband optical fiber amplifiers,2 as band-rejection filters in high-power cascaded Raman fiber ...

All-optical switching in long-period fiber gratings

Optics Letters, 1997
Nonlinear pulse propagation in long-period fiber gratings is studied with a mode-locked Q -switched laser pulse approximately 80ps in duration at a wavelength of 1.05 microm . Optical switching, pulse reshaping, and optical limiting are found at intensities in the range of 1-20 GW/cm(2).

Magnetic-force-induced long-period fiber gratings

Optics Letters, 2012
A novel formation method of a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) based on a magnetic-force-induced microbend is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The LPFG employs a permanent magnet that exerts transversal force to the fiber by attracting a steel coil spring.

Long-period fiber gratings as ultrafast optical differentiators

Optics Letters, 2005
It is demonstrated that a single, uniform long-period fiber grating (LPFG) working in the linear regime inherently behaves as an ultrafast optical temporal differentiator. Specifically, we show that the output temporal waveform in the core mode of a LPFG providing full energy coupling into the cladding mode is proportional to the first derivative of ...

Development of long-period fiber grating coupling devices

Applied Optics, 2008
A long-period fiber grating (LPFG) formed in a single-mode fiber is considered as an effective device to tap light from the core of fiber. This light-tapping property of the LPFG allows a new class of wavelength-selective optical couplers to be realized by using the configuration of parallel LPFGs. Over the years a number of four-port and six-port LPFG

Progress in long period fiber gratings

Conference Proceedings. LEOS'98. 11th Annual Meeting. IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society 1998 Annual Meeting (Cat. No.98CH36243), 2002
Summary form only given. Long period fiber gratings have been used in a variety of applications such as gain equalization filters for optical amplifiers, band rejection filters and sensors for temperature and strain. Among these applications, gain equalization is the most demanding and interesting because of the impact of broadband gain-flattened EDFA ...

Femtosecond-written long-period gratings in fluoride fibers

Optics Letters, 2018
Long-period gratings induced in fluoride glass fibers using femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm are, to the best of our knowledge, demonstrated for the first time. By means of tightly confined ultrashort laser pulses, smooth periodic lines of refractive index changes are induced along the fiber core.

Structural long-period gratings in photonic crystal fibers

Optics Letters, 2002
We report what is believed to be the first example of structural long-period gratings written in pure silica photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). The gratings are realized by periodic collapse of the holes of the PCF by heat treatment with a CO(2) laser. The resulting periodic hole-size perturbation produces core-to-cladding-mode conversion.
