Features

The Apodized FBGs have special profile of induced refractive index and grating strength along the grating length. Therefore, side lobe level becomes smaller compared with that of the ordinary gratings. There are a lot of apodized profiles which lead to the optimization of various FBG parameters (strength, FWHM, SLSR).

Applications

Apodized FBGs are useful in sensing applications, signal and Brillouin scatter filtering and others. Possible values of SLSR for different grating strengths are in the range of -10dB to -30dB. The reflection spectrum of Apodized HR FBGs is presented in the graph.
