Electrically tunable dispersion compensator with fixed center wavelength using fiber Bragg grating

We present the design and development of a novel tunable dispersion compensator with fixed center wavelength that is based on the electrical adjustment of the chirp of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Both temperature gradient and strain gradient are employed to adjust the chirp of the FBG jointly. The electrical current flowing through the taper on-fiber thin-film heater will introduce a temperature gradient on the FBG. The shrinkage of a negative thermal expansion coefficient (NTEC) ceramic due to the temperature rise will compress the tapered FBG mounted inside it, and this will introduce a strain gradient on the FBG. The center wavelength of the FBG will be kept fixed because the effect of temperature rise on the FBG and the effect of compression of the FBG will offset each other. Applying an electrical power of less than 0.68 W, we demonstrate a linearly chirped FBG whose dispersion can be continuously adjusted from -178 ps/nm to -302 ps/nm with a central wavelength shift of as small as 0.16 nm.

Continuous True-Time-Delay System Employing a Novel Tunable Chirped Fiber Grating Delay Line and a Sampled Grating Based Multiwavelength Fiber Laser

A photonics true-time-delay system for phased array antenna beam steering employing a novel tunable chirped fiber grating delay line and a multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser source based on a sampled grating filter is proposed. The tunable chirped fiber grating, which act as a continuous time-delay element, is achieved by bending a uniform fiber Bragg grating bonded at a slant onto the lateral surface of a simply supported beam. This technique allows the dynamic control of the chirp rate and spectral width of the grating without center wavelength shift. By adjusting the chirp rate of the fiber grating via bend strain, this kind of tunable chirped fiber grating could achieve very low and adjustable delay times, therefore provides higher angle resolution for scanning microwave beam, even the wavelengths of laser source are fixed and un-tunable. The true-time-delay system using proposed tunable chirped fiber grating delay element and sampled grating based laser source is constructed and demonstrated experimentally.

Linear and Gaussian Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating and Its Applications in Fiber-Optic Filtering and Sensing Systems

A novel technique for continuous chirp control of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based on a double-hole cantilever beam (DHCB) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The specifically designed DHCB provides a pressure-position-dependent strain-gradient along an originally uniform FBG and allows a tunable linear and Gaussian chirp modulation over the grating spectrum. Bandwidth and wavelength-independent tuning, under center-applied-pressure effect, is achieved by linear chirp modulation with a symmetrical broadening profile and a temperature-controlled wavelength shift. And intensity-referenced temperature-immune pressure measurement, under side-applied-pressure effect, is accomplished by Gaussian chirp modulation with a single-side-broadening profile and a linear-increasing reflection optical power.     

Analysis and development of a tunable fiber Bragg grating filter based on axial tension/compression

A tunable optical filter based on the axial strain of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is discussed. A wavelength range of 46 nm in compression and 10.5 nm in tension with negligible variations in reflectivity and bandwidth of the central Bragg wavelength reflectivity peak were obtained. The device consists of two fixed ferrules and one guiding ferrule. The difficulties with compressing the FBG were handled by carefully selecting tolerances and adjustment procedures. The device allows both tension and compression of FBG and the use of different FBG lengths and actuators. The effects of glue deformation and bending of the FBG during compression are analyzed in detail.
