In this paper, we present high temperature characteristics of a tunable all-optical filter using fiber Bragg grating(FBG) filter in Ge doped and Ge & B co-doped fiber, including peak reflectivity, bandwidth and various normalized refractive index change with temperature variation. The reflection spectrum of a FBG filter with refractive index change is affected by its thermal stability. Consequently Ge doped FBG tunable filter has a better thermal stability than Ge & B co-doped FBG tunable filter. Also, both FBG tunable filters show good thermal stability up to about $500^{\circ}C$.

Recently, one of the authors has been reported an optically tunable fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a photomechanical polymer. It was based on a typical FBG with a downsized diameter of 60 ㎛, coated with azobenzene-containing polymer material. Azobenzene is a well-known reversibly photomechanical stretchable material under ultraviolet (UV) light. The small part of the functional-coating region on the FBG absorbed UV light, which pulled the UV-exposed part of the grating. It was selectable as tunable FBG or tunable chirped FBG, by adjusting the position of UV exposure on the grating. As proof of concept for the tunable FBG device, the characteristics just including UV-induced center-wavelength shift and spectral-width changes of the device were reported. In this paper, we report for the first time that the microactuator makes it possible to control the spectral shape of the FBG reflection, according to the specifications (shape and intensity) of the UV beam that reaches the FBG coated with the azobenzene polymer. In addition, we provide the group-delay profiles for the chirped FBG, so that the sign of its dispersion (normal or anomalous) can be tailored by simply selecting the moving direction of the UV light's displacement in the experiment.

Stable and tunable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser(EDFL) using a single fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and two coil heaters is proposed and demonstrated. Installing two identical coils into a single FBG, the FBG is symmetrically divided into two different portions. While a current supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FBG under the coil is changed. The FBG can operate as a joint of two different FBGs. Due to the thermo-optic effect of a fiber, the resonance wavelength split into two peaks. The spacing between two adjacent channels was changed as much as the difference of heating power. It was tuned up to 3 nm of wavelength under the electrical power with a 1000 mW. Moreover, the lasing wavelength can be individually tuned without influencing to the adjacent channel.

A tunable low-phase-noise microwave generation structure that utilizes an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in this article. This structure has no particular requirement for the band width of the laser, and its tunability is realized through adjusting the central frequency of the tunable FBG. A detailed theoretical analysis is established and confirmed via an experiment. A high-purity microwave signal with a frequency tunable from 6 to 12 GHz is generated. The single-sideband phase noise of the generated signal at 10.2 GHz is -117.2 dBc/Hz, at a frequency offset of 10 kHz.

In this paper, the thermal characteristics of a tunable all-optical fiber Bragg grating(FBG) filter was investigated by numerical analysis. From the results, it is possible to tune a Bragg center wavelength along temperature variation because a Bragg center wavelength is varied linearly according to its operating temperature, however, the reflectivity of a Bragg center wavelength was reduced over a limited high temperature. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain the stability of a tunable all-optical FBG filter within $600^{\circ}C$, but it is difficult to tune a Bragg center wavelength over this temperature.

We have evaluated the performance of strain-chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based tunable dispersion compensator in a 40 Gb/s transmission link. In our proposed compensator, the value of dispersion could be changed from -353 ps/nm to -962 ps/nm by adjusting the rotation angle of the metal beam on which the FBG was mounted. In order to evaluate the effect of ripples in reflectivity and variations in passband of the FBG based dispersion compensator, transmission performance has been measured with our tunable dispersion compensator. Error-free transmission of a 40 Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal over conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) was achieved.

Fiber Bragg grating sensors are fabricated by core index modulation using UV laser and phasemask. Bragg wavelength of the grating is changed by the external strain. In this paper, a signal processing system of fiber Bragg grating sensor has studied in the optical wavelength domain. The system is based on the sweep semiconductor light source that consists of SLD, F-P tunable filter and etalon filter. The hysteresis effects of PZT in the F-P tunable filter are compensated. The long term measurement stability is obtained by controlling the temperature of F-P tunable filter and the SLD. We compare the strain data from fiber Bragg grating sensor and that from strain gauge at concrete hume pipe. We also get very good results for the long gauge displacement using fiber Bragg grating sensor which are identical to the data with short gauge length ordinary displacement sensor.

A frequency stable and tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) incorporating an optical phase shifter and a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) is designed and analyzed. The frequency tunability of the OEO can be realized by using a tunable microwave photonic bandpass filter consisting of a PS-FBG, a phase modulator. The optical phase compensation loop is used to compensate for the phase variations of the RF signal from the OEO by adjusting an optical phase shifter. Simulation results demonstrate that the output RF signals of the OEO can be tuned in a frequency range of 118 MHz to 24.092 GHz. When the ambient temperature fluctuates within ±3.9 ℃, the frequency drifts of the output RF signals are less than 68 Hz, the side-mode suppression ratios are more than 69.39 dB, and the phase noise is less than -92.49 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset frequency.
