Design and fabrication principles of chirped tapered fiber-Bragg-grating-based Fabry-Perot cavity

摘要

This paper presents a method for writing a Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity in the tapered fiber. General idea for writing the F-P cavity in tapered fiber is based on utilization of chirped tapered fiber Bragg gratings (CTFBG) in counter-directional configuration. In such approach, the chirp resulting from tapered fiber and linearly increasing periods of the grating, cancel each other out. Presented numerical results consists of qualitative model, that provides the general design approach, as well as quantitative analysis, that allows for more detailed studies on presented structure. For this purpose Coupled Mode Theory (CMT) together with Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) were utilized.
