    摘要: A laser source supplies a primary laser beam. A phase grating generates two secondary beams from the primary beam so as to form interference fringes that are inscribed in an optical fiber by photo-refraction. An optical system of variable focal length varies the gap between the interference fringes so as to vary the pitch of the Bragg grating discretely for successive segments of the optical fiber. Means displace the primary laser beam and the optical fiber relative to each other by successive segments of said fiber. These means are synchronized with the variation of the focal length of the optical system. Application to telecommunications.

    摘要: A system for writing a Bragg grating point-by-point in an optical waveguide includes an illumination system for producing a primary beam. It further includes a diffraction grating to receive the primary beam and to produce a zero order secondary beam and two symmetrical secondary beams of higher order and a focusing optical device for focusing the secondary beams onto a writing area of the waveguide. The diffraction grating and the focusing optical device define an intensity function of writing in the area of the guide including a central peak and two secondary peaks spaced from the central peak by a distance equal to the pitch of the grating.

    摘要: A band-pass filter written into an optical waveguide includes at least one Bragg grating creating coupling between two propagation modes. In one version the pitch of the grating is equal to the length of beating of these two modes, to create codirectional coupling for the LP01 and LP0i modes. In another version the grating couples the LP01 mode to any contradirectional radiation mode. The filter includes, at one point at least of the grating, an area in which one half-period of the grating is omitted to create a phase-shift of .pi. between the two coupled modes.

    摘要: The invention proposes a photosensitive optical fiber for inscribing a Bragg grating by UV illumination, in which the photosensitivity is very high either to reduce the exposure time or to increase the contrast of the optically induced refraction index variations, whilst retaining a reasonable exposure time. Thanks to this high contrast, the fiber of the invention, imprinted with a linear chirp, in addition to correcting chromatic dispersion, is also effective in correcting the chromatic dispersion slope of a fiber of ordinary contrast, imprinted with a quadratic chirp. In a preferred embodiment, the fiber of the invention is photosensitive in the cladding. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a non-photosensitive dopant is added to the core of said fiber to reduce the refractive index in the core, reducing the birefringence of the fiber.

    摘要: The invention relates to the field of optical fiber wavelength division multiplexed transmission, and more particularly to the field of narrow-band optical filters for dense multiplexing. The invention proposes a narrow-band optical filter with a group-delay response that is very flat in the working band, obtained by cascading two Bragg gratings having group delays that are linear as a function of wavelength in the working band, but with their gradients being of opposite signs. The present solution is easier and less costly to implement than the prior art solutions, and it should also offer higher performance.

    摘要: An angled Bragg grating optical waveguide section adjusts the spectral response of a transmission filter in an optical waveguide or in an optical fiber. To smooth the response of the filter, which is subject to modulation due to coupling to the various cladding modes, the pitch of the Bragg grating is caused to vary in a linear fashion along the length of the filter. To adapt the attenuation band to a required band, the cladding of the optical fiber is doped with a photosensitive material so that the grating is also formed in the cladding. The photosensitivity of the cladding is advantageously greater than that of the core, in a ratio in the order of 5:1.
