Title: | Observation of symmetrical reflection sidebands in a silica suspended-core fiber Bragg grating | Authors: | Tse, MLV Chung, KM Dong, L Thomas, BK Fu, LB Cheng, KCD Lu, C Tam, HY |
Issue Date: | 2-Aug-2010 | Source: | Optics express, 2 Aug. 2010, v. 18, no. 16, p. 17373-17381 | Abstract: | We have observed symmetrical sidebands in reflection from Bragg grating written in a silica suspended-core fiber, which are caused by longitudinal periodic refractive index modulation in the Ge-doped suspended-core fiber with a core diameter of ∼1.3 μm. Our simulation shows that the effective refractive index of the guided mode varied by 0.023% along the fiber with a period of ∼650 μm. The periodic index variation can lead to amplitude modulation of fiber Bragg gratings, which can be studied by observing the spectra of a fiber Bragg grating written in the Ge-doped core. In addition, we have also characterized the temperature and strain responses of the fiber Bragg gratings, and showed that both responses in the suspended-core fiber are 20 to 25% lower than that of a fiber Bragg grating written on a conventional fiber. | Keywords: | Fiber optic components Fiber optic sensors Fibers Germanium Light refraction Refractive index Refractometers Silica |
