Performance characteristics of single Bragg grating fiber under various filter impulse functions and grating filter profiles

Abstract This work has demonstrated the performance characteristics of single Bragg grating fiber under various filter impulse functions and grating filter profiles. Single fiber Bragg grating (FBG) power propagation, grating index change, coupling coefficient and apodization variations versus grating length variations is demonstrated at the central wavelength of 1550 nm by using both Hamming, Blackman impulse filter function and Hamming, Blackman grating profile. As well as the single FBG power spectrum, delay, dispersion, transmittivity/reflectivity are simulated and clarified against wavelength variations using both Hamming, Blackman impulse filter function and Hamming, Blackman grating profile. The Hamming impulse function filter and Hamming grating profile have clarified better performance than Blackman impulse function filter and Blackman grating profile.
