Programmable long-period grating in a liquid core optical fiber [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2016 A programmable fiber long-period grating (LPG) is experimentally demonstrated in a liquid core optical fiber with a low insertion loss. The LPG is dynamically formed by a temperature gradient in real time through a micro-heater array. The transmission spectrum of the LPG can be completely reconfigured by digitally changing the grating period, index ...
