Research on tunable phase shift induced by piezoelectric transducer in linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating with the V-I transmission matrix formalism

摘要

In this study, the V-I transmission matrix (V-I TM) is proposed to analyze the tunable single phase shift (SPS) and multiple phase shifts (MPS) inserted in a linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating (LCFBG). According to the simulation results, the peaks appear on the transmission spectrum, when the phase shifts are induced in the LCFBG. With the increase of the phase shift, the center wavelength of the peak moves toward long wavelength region. A remarkable degree of bilateral symmetry can be found as characteristic of the depth of peaks. The maximum depth caused by inserted pi-shift is the symmetric axis. Moreover, when MPS are inserted simultaneously, the appeared peaks are independent and the variation tendency of each peak is the same with that caused by SPS. The experiment of phase shift induced by a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) verifies the correctness of the simulation, and a narrow bandwidth of 0.028 nm is acquired. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
