Journal ArticleDOI
Photosensitivity in optical fiber waveguides: Application to reflection filter fabrication
TL;DR: In this paper, the observation of photosensitivity in Ge-doped core optical fibers is reported. The photosensitivity is manifested by light-induced refractive index changes in the core of the waveguide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bragg gratings fabricated in monomode photosensitive optical fiber by UV exposure through a phase mask
TL;DR: In this paper, a photolithographic method is described for fabricating refractive index Bragg gratings in photosensitive optical fiber by using a special phase mask grating made of silica glass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient mode conversion in telecommunication fibre using externally written gratings
Kenneth O. Hill,Bernard Y. Malo,K.A. Vineberg,Francois Bilodeau,Derwyn C. Johnson,I.M. Skinner +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a novel approach to grating writing in optical fibres is described, which involves writing the grating point by point through the side of the fiber using a UV laser source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Narrow-band Bragg reflectors in optical fibers.
TL;DR: The formation and characterization of narrow-band-waveguide reflection filters in Ge-doped silica optical fibers is described, which can have complex response profiles and are tunable in frequency by mechanical strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chirped in-fiber Bragg gratings for compensation of optical-fiber dispersion.
Kenneth O. Hill,Francois Bilodeau,Bernard Y. Malo,T. Kitagawa,S. Theriault,Derwyn C. Johnson,Jacques Albert,Koichi Takiguchi +7 more
TL;DR: A linearly chirped in-fiber Bragg grating is reported that can compensate at 1549 nm for the dispersion of standard telecommunications optical fiber optimized for 1300-nm operation.
