Original Abstract

This paper discusses methods for calculation properties of apodized-chirped fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). These are one of the most enveloping optical devices in telecommunications and sensor systems. Work is aimed to design of FBGs with utilization especially in sensor systems and laser interferometry for semiconductor laser stabilization at wavelength about 760nm. FBG is described by periodic spatial function of effective mode index, including apodization and chirp profiles. Sampling makes function discrete and each sample represents one layer of dielectric media. The transfer matrix is made for each step. The overall transfer matrix is created by multiplying of these step-matrices. The spectral characteristic and group delay are calculated from overall transfer matrix at the end. This method provides design of arbitrary gratings, which are widely used in many optical systems, such as band filters, in-fiber sensors or fiber grating lasers and amplifiers for their unique properties.
