Sensitivity characteristics of long-period fiber gratings
Xuewen Shu,Lin Zhang,Ian Bennion +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the sensitivity of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) is investigated as a function of temperature, strain, and surrounding refractive index, with particular attention to the higher order cladding modes and the possibilities for ultrasensitive sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct writing of fibre Bragg gratings by femtosecond laser
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct, point-by-point inscription of fibre Bragg gratings by infrared femtosecond laser is reported for the first time, in a non-photosensitised, standard telecommunication fibre and dispersion shifted fibre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced power solitons in optical fibres with periodic dispersion management
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of stable soliton-like pulses in optical fibres with a periodic dispersion map was examined, and it was found that increased energy is required to launch a pulse of given width compared to the equivalent uniform fibre with equal path-average dispersion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiwavelength generation in an erbium-doped fiber laser using in-fiber comb filters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrated simultaneous continuous wave multiwavelength operation of an erbium-doped fiber laser using two types of recently developed in-fiber grating comb filters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-axis bend measurement with Bragg gratings in multicore optical fiber
Gordon M. H. Flockhart,William N. MacPherson,James S. Barton,Julian D. C. Jones,Lin Zhang,Ian Bennion +5 more
TL;DR: This work describes what is to their knowledge the first use of fiber Bragg gratings written into three separate cores of a multicore fiber for two-axis curvature measurement.
