Features

The simple one is “sine” type which saves the length of the gratings and provides SLSR around  20dB. Such function is optimal for save of the grating length and value of SLSR level.


The Gaussian type “Gauss” which ensures best SLSR value around -30dB. A lot of applications such as pulsed fiber lasers need special dispersion value and reflection spectrum of the FBG. Gaussian profile of apodization for chirped FBGs allows good results on these applications. The reflection spectrum of apodized chirped FBG with gaussian profile of reflection spectrum and profile of refractive index change along the FBG are presented on the graphs.


The “SuperGauss”apodization profiles are required for “Flat Top”reflection spectra of chirped FBGs. The “SuperGauss” profile of refractive index change along the FBG is presented on the picture.

Applications

Apodized FBGs are useful in sensing applications, signal and Brillouin scatter filtering and others.
