Bending sensitivity of in-series long-period fiber gratings

Optics Letters, 1998
The interference fringes formed in a long-period fiber grating pair are sensitive to the loss in the cladding mode, which can be induced by bending or by coating on the fiber. Assuming that there is no loss and that both gratings are identical, the interference fringes are shown to have 100% contrast when each grating has 50% transmissivity.

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.

3D printed long period gratings for optical fibers

Optics Letters, 2016
We demonstrate a simple technique for implementing long period grating (LPG) structures by the use of a 3D printer. This Letter shows a way of manipulating the mode coupling within an optical fiber by applying stress through an external 3D printed periodic structure.

Long-period fiber gratings written in the microstructure specialty fibers

2013 6th IEEE/International Conference on Advanced Infocomm Technology (ICAIT), 2013
We demonstrate the fabrication of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) written by CO2 laser in different micro-structure specialty fibers. The characteristics of grating growth were studied by using the dynamic analysis of laser writing process. It can be believed that the residual stress relaxation, glass structure changes, and frozen of the non ...

Long-period fiber grating inscribed in a tapered fiber

Advanced Photonics Congress, 2012
A long-period fiber grating (LPFG) written in a tapered fiber was proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Strain sensitivity of the proposed LPFG based on a tapered fiber was improved to be -2.99 nm/mϵ.

Long-period fiber grating: a specific design for biosensing applications

Applied Optics, 2017
In this paper, a detailed investigation on the modeling of long-period fiber grating (LPFG) sensors is discussed with the aim of providing a more realistic solution for their use in biosensing. Add-layer sensitivity, i.e., sensitivity of the sensor to an additional layer adhered onto the fiber surface, is quantified and a clear and complete analysis ...

Splicer-based long-period fiber gratings

OFC '98. Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibit. Technical Digest. Conference Edition. 1998 OSA Technical Digest Series Vol.2 (IEEE Cat. No.98CH36177), 2002
Summary form only given. Presents a one-step process for the fabrication of efficient, compact long-period gratings. The technique makes use ofa controlled arc to periodically modify an optical fiber by a pair of electrodes. The setup comprises a commercially available splicer whose fiber holding mechanism is replaced by a motorized stage, which allows
