Abstract
This paper presents a study on the influence of polishing depth on the sensitivity and signal attenuation of D-shaped fiber Bragg gratings. The evaluated depths go beyond the cladding-core interface, typically not presented in the literature. The polishing depths of 1 µm, 2 µm, 3 µm, 4 µm, and 5 µm from the core boundary are numerically analyzed using COMSOL Multiphysics. Experimental results are presented to corroborate the simulation results. The results show that increasing the polishing depth increases the power attenuation in the core, as expected, but on the other hand, increases the sensitivity to the refractive index, with values of 45.3 nm/RIU and 138.9 nm/RIU being obtained for depths of 2.5 µm and 5.2 µm. The observed experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
