Phase-only sampled 45 channel fiber Bragg grating written with a diffraction-compensated phase mask

摘要

A novel phase-only sampled 45 channel fiber Bragg grating (channel spacing, 100 GHz) with high interchannel and intrachannel reflection uniformity and precise dispersion matching capability to an 80 km SMF-28 fiber is demonstrated. This grating is fabricated by the side-writing technique, in which phase information of continuous phase-only sampling is completely incorporated into a diffraction-compensated phase mask.
