Apodized Fiber Bragg Grating Simulation

Reference T. Erdogan, ‘Fiber Grating Spectra,’ J. Lightwave Technol., vol.15, No.8, (1997), pp.1277-1294. Description The example demonstrates the effect of apodization on the optical properties of a fiber grating. A chirpless, sinusoidal Bragg grating has a user-defined average refractive index and apodization. The average index is modulated by the Gaussian function: Index_Mod*exp(-ln2*(2*(x-Length/2)/Length)^2) The fiber Bragg grating…

Sampled Grating

Reference T. Erdogan, ‘Fiber Grating Spectra,’ J. Lightwave Technol., vol.15, No.8, pp.1277- 1294, (1997). Description The example demonstrates a sampled grating exhibiting periodic superstructure. The superstructure is a collection of 99 identical gratings and phase shift blocks. The gratings are uniform and have a uniform average index. The main result is the multi-peak, periodic superstructure…

Mode Conversion by Fiber Bragg Grating

Description The example demonstrates an InP/InGaAsP planar waveguide filter. The design is based on five gratings and four phase shifts. The uniform, rectangular-shaped gratings are placed on the top of the waveguide.…

Long-period Fiber Grating for Gain Flattening

Reference A. M. Vengsarkar et al., ‘Long-period fiber-grating-based gain equalizers,’ Opt. Lett., vol.21, No.5, (1996), pp.336-338. Description The example demonstrates a fiber grating filter used to equalize the gain of a fiber amplifier. The LP01 fiber core mode is coupled to the LP08 cladding mode. A twograting structure is present in the fiber. The gratings…

Pulse Reshaping by Uniform Fiber Grating

Reference L. R. Chen et. al., ‘Ultrashort pulse reflection from fiber gratings: A numerical investigation,’ J. Lightwave Technol., vol.15, No.8, (1997), pp.1505-1512. Description The example demonstrates a transform-limited Gaussian pulse reflected from uniform fiber gratings. The gratings have different index modulation values. You can change the grating modulation index and compare the calculated results with…
