Exotic Property

A photonic analogue of Klein tunneling (KT), that is, of the exotic property of relativistic electrons to pass a large repulsive and sharp potential step, is proposed for pulse propagation in a nonuniform fiber Bragg grating with an embedded chirped region. KT can be simply observed as the opening of a transmission window inside the grating stop band, provided that the impressed chirp is realized over a length of the order of the analogue of the Compton wavelength.

Non Linear

A new package for thermally compensating a fiber Bragg grating, which requires less accuracy in positioning the fiber onto the device, is discussed. Experiments show that it can reduce the shift in reflected wavelength from 1575 pm to 78 pm for a temperature change of 120 K. The deformation of the package showed no hysteresis, and the effective thermal compensation is repeatable over many cycles. Furthermore the package also has the potential to give non-linear thermal compensation for fiber Bragg gratings.

Grating Fabrication

The paper presents the results of fiber Bragg gratings fabrication by femtosecond laser radiation using point-by-point and line-by-line inscription methods. The approach makes it possible to fabricate the second and higher diffraction orders fiber Bragg gratings, which can be used as sensitive elements of fiber-optic sensors.

Accuracy Of Measurements

The paper presents periodic structures in terms of metrological properties in the distinction for a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a constant and changeable period. The process of their formation and characteristics as well as applications in many areas have been described. On the basis of the literature, the results of research and measurements of measurable quantities such as temperature and stress made by periodic structures applied to the fiber of the optical fiber are presented. Analysis of the presented measurements allowed to mark the ranges and accuracy of measurements of individual applications.

Widespread Application

Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg grating structures in typical communication fibers. Concerning fibers there is, for example., a need of achieving fiber gratings in small diameter fibers and fiber tapers as well as in microstructured fibers. Special fiber grating structures are of interest e.g. in the visible wavelength range, which requires smaller spatial structures compared to more conventional gratings in the near infrared wavelength region. Examples for such modern developments in fiber Bragg grating technology for sensor applications will be presented and discussed.
