Common Structures of Fiber Bragg Gratings
A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a wavelength-specific dielectric mirror. The term type in this context refers to the underlying mechanism by which grating fringes are produced in the fiber.
