Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2009 | Source: | Optics letters, 1 Dec. 2009, v. 34, no. 23, p. 3683-3685 | Abstract: | We report the implementation of an in-fiber optical switch by means of filling a fluid into the air holes of a photonic crystal fiber with a fiber Bragg grating. Such a switch can turn on/off light transmission with an extinction ratio of up to 33 dB within a narrow wavelength range (Bragg wavelength) via a small temperature adjustment of ±5°C. The switching function is based on the temperature-dependent coupling between the fundamental core mode and the rod modes in the fluid-filled holes resulting from the thermo-optic effect of the filled fluid. | Keywords: | Air Crystal whiskers Fiber Bragg gratings Fiber optic components Fiber optic sensors Fibers Laser pulses Light transmission Optical switches Photonic crystals Switching functions |
