We fabricated fiber gratings with three different Ge-doped fibers exposed to 60atm pressure of Hz gas at 90"C for different times and studied the effects of Ge-doping concentration and $H_2$ loading time on the growth of gratings. According to experiments. the growing effect of hydrogen loading on high Ge-doped fiber was great.

In this paper, four apodization functions are proposed for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) strip waveguides with sidewall-corrugated gratings. The effects of apodization functions on the full width at half maximum (FWHM), the side-lobe level, and the reflectivity of the reflection spectrum are studied using the coupled-mode theory (CMT) and the transfer-matrix method (TMM). The results show that applying proposed apodization functions creates very good filtering characteristics. Among investigated apodized waveguides, the apodization functions of Polynomial and z-power have the best performance in reducing side-lobes, where the side-lobe oscillations are entirely removed. Four functions are also used for precise adjustment of the bandwidth. Simulation results show that the minimum and maximum values of the FWHM are 0.74 nm and 8.48 nm respectively. In some investigated functions, changing the apodization parameters decreases the reflectivity which is compensated by increasing the grating length.

We proposed and demonstrated a tunable wavelength optical add/drop multiplexer(OADM) employing piezoactuated fiber grating pairs and polarization beam splitters. We used piezostack act as a fiber stretcher, using the fact that the resonant wavelength of the grating can be controlled by the axial strain along the fiber grating. The polarization controlled configuration showed high stability because the reflected signals from the two identical gratings are dropped or added not by interference but by polarizations of the beams. We could add and drop not noly 1549.3nm signal channel(original gratings), but also 1550.1nm(tuned gratings) with PZT actuators and in both cases, we found that the rejection of adjacent channels was more than -26dB, and signal leakage at the gratings was less than -34dB.

We report a novel optical delay line that can be implemented using only optical fiber and fiber devices without the need for any bulk-optic devices such as lens, prism, and moving mirror. The dispersive property of a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) is exploited to get the delay. The proposed delay line constitutes two identical CFBGs cascaded in the reverse order with one of them being strained. Analysis reveals that the small displacement or the strain applied on the CFBG is effectively amplified in the delay line by the ratio of the minimum resonant wavelength and the reflection bandwidth of the CFBG. The dispersion properties of the CFBG with and without the strain are analyzed in detail. The theoretical performance of the proposed delay line is also discussed. Applications of the proposed delay line are expected in the field of high-speed optical coherence tomograpy.

We propose an erbium-doped fiber ring laser whose multi-wavelength oscillation is tunable and switchable by tuning fiber bragg gratings. By applying axial pressure on the fiber bragg grating, the wavelength spacing of the proposed laser can be tuned continuously. And by adjusting a polarization controller(PC), the proposed laser can be switched among dual-, triple- and four-wavelength lasing operations.

A novel interrogation scheme to detect fine Bragg wavelength shift using a long period fiber grating pair with erbium-doped fiber inserted between the two gratings is reported. The technique is shown to feature high resolution and much more immunity to temperature perturbation compared to the conventioned Mach-Zehnder interferometer demodulation system. For quasi-static strain measurement, this approach provides high wavelength resolution of 0.05 pm that corresponds to 41.7 ne in strain and $3.8 $\times$ 10^{-3}$$^{\circ}C$ in temperature. This interrogation system is also employed in dynamic measurement to obtain the minimum detectable strain perturbation of ~ 8.76 ne/H $z^{{\frac}{1}{2}}$ at 100 Hz. Moreover, this interrogation system has prominent thermal stability. This thermal stability comes from the fact that two arms of the interferometer, the core and cladding in erbium-doped fiber, are exposed to nearly the same environment .

Ge이 도핑된 실리카 광도파로 코어는 GeO$_2$분자의 산소결핍에 의하여 248nm의 파장을 갖는 자외선에 대해서 광감응성을 가지게 된다. 따라서 248nm 파장의 레이저를 간섭시켜 조사할 경우, Ge가 도핑되지 않은 overcladding 부분은 투과하고 간섭 패턴의 에너지 분포에 따라 코어의 굴절률이 주기적으로 변화한다. 이 주기적인 굴절률 변화는 잘 알려진 광학적 브래그 격자(Bragg grating)의 역할을 하게된다. 자외선 레이저를 이용하여 영구적인 굴절률 변화를 코어 내부에 형성시키는 방법으로는 홀로그램법과 위상 마스크를 이용하는 방법, 그리고 단일 슬릿을 이용하는 방법등이 있다[1][2].

We propose the cascade FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating)s to compensate the dispersion, discuss the dispersion characteristics of such cascaded FBGs, compare with the single FBG dispersion compensator. For these, we theoretically consider the sencond- and third-order group-velocity dispersion(GVD) in the single fiber grating using plane wave solution and the coupled mode equation. We also theoretically find the group-velocity dispersion in the cascaded fiber gratings from the results in the single fiber grating and present the optimum disign data of the cascaded FBGs dispersion compensator in the N-channel WDM system through the numerical simulation.

The 607 nm GaInP/AlInP distributed bragg reflector (DBR) lasers using the second order gratings period of 184.7 nm were fabricated by gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) and the conventional holographic method. GaInP/AlInP DBR lasers show single mode operations up to 1.8 times the threshold currents with a wavelength of 607 nm at 140 K and a wavelength shift of 0.033 nm/K is observed. No mode hopping was found in the temperature ranging from 120 to 165K.

Based on a semiconductor optical amplifier and sampled fiber Bragg gratings, polarization-controlled waveband switching in multiwavelength fiber laser is successfully demonstrated at room temperature by using high polarization selectivity of a polarization beam splitter. A multiwavelength-switching operation between eight and six laser lines with signal to noise ratio over 35 dB and wavelength spacing of ${\sim}0.8nm$ has been successfully demonstrated. The switching displacement of the proposed laser was ${\sim}7.1nm$. The intensity unevenness between different laser lines was measured to be less than 6.5 dB. The switching displacement between wavebands (groups of contiguous wavelengths), wavelength channels, and their spacings can be flexibly designed by the selected comb filters.
