About Fiber Bragg Gratings
Fiber Bragg gratings have a periodically altered refractive index to filter certain wavelengths while allowing others to pass. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are widely used in telecommunication, sensor and laser fields. There are many types of fiber Bragg gratings. Examples include optical fiber Bragg grating, standard fiber Bragg gratings and surface-relief fiber Bragg gratings. In an optical fiber Bragg grating the Bragg exists in the optical fiber and reflects a very narrow bandwidth of light that is centered at the Bragg wavelength in the transmission spectrum. Standard fiber Bragg gratings have periodic modulations in the refractive index of the fiber. Surface-relief fiber Bragg gratings are similar to a standard FBG except fabrication method. Surface-relief fiber Bragg gratings are etched physically into the fiber and enable it to operate at high temperatures. Fiber Bragg grating sensors are used to measure various parameters which introduce a change in reflection wavelength of the FBG. Other fiber Bragg gratings are commonly available.
