Based on grating waveguide arrays

Based on grating waveguide arrays

Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. It is usually built as part of a planar lightwave circuit (photonic integrated circuit), where the light coming from an input fiber first enters a multimode. Component-level simulations using varFDTD are carried out for more realistic results. It is a very powerful integrated light-dispersion technology with sig-nificant exibility for tailoring its performance to the individual.

Lithium Niobate Array Waveguide Grating

We design and fabricate an eight-channel thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) and demonstrate the electro-optical tunability of the device. The transmission of the fabri-cated TFLN AWG near the central wavelength of 1550 nm is. Arrayed waveguide grating is a versatile and scalable integrated light dispersion device, which has been widely adopted in various applications, including, optical communications and optical sensing.

Principle of Fiber Optic Grating Demodulation

Principle of Fiber Optic Grating Demodulation

Our technique exploits the reflection characteristics of fiber Bragg gratings written in polarization-maintaining fibers to create a frequency discriminator, which is able to convert PM/FM signals into intensity-modulated (IM) signals. In this paper, a novel demodulation algorithm based on the variable-step-size method and cross-correlation algorithm is proposed to demodulate the wavelength of an FBG. Fibre Bragg gratings are one of the most popular sensors with a huge number of applications. However, current FBG demodulation methods face issues with stability, size, and cost. In this study, we proposed a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chip to demodulate FBGs based on random speckles.

Fiber Bragg Grating Humidity Sensing Principle

Fiber Bragg Grating Humidity Sensing Principle

Fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, for which the working principle and main features are presented further below in this paper, can be made by the deposition of a hygroscopic swelling material on the fibre. In this work, we report novel relative humidity sensors realized by functionalising fibre Bragg gratings with chitosan, a moisture-sensitive biopolymer never used before for this kind of fibre optic sensor. 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.
