Direct UV Grating Writing (DGW) is effective route for fabricating high quality Bragg gratings, similar to fiber Bragg gratings, in a planar geometry. We will present a phase modulation controlled DGW method using an Electro-Optical Modulator for planar Bragg grating fabrication that offers improved performance. This new approach not only provides much greater modulation depths for stronger and shorter...
Tilted Bragg grating refractometers have been subject to continuous interest in recent years [1]. They operate by diffracting a well-confined core mode into a discrete set of cladding [2] or plasmonic modes [3], whose properties are dependent upon an external refractive index. Traditionally these components have been fabricated in an optical fibre platform. However, recent work from the authors has...
We demonstrate experimentally a simple technique to measure the wavelength-dependent effective refractive index of a waveguide utilizing integrated Bragg grating structures. A broadband measurement of the Bragg wavelengths yields the effective index of the waveguide and, thus, an accurate total dispersion relationship. An empirical calculation of the waveguide component of the dispersion yields both...
Photonic Hilbert transformers (PHT) offer potential for a wide range of applications in telecommunication, information processing and signal analysis [1]. They provide operational bandwidths and speeds far beyond current electronic technologies. PHTs have been realized in discrete free space components and recently in fiber using multi-tapped sampled fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), and single phase-shifted...
A phase transition sensor is demonstrated using direct UV written Bragg gratings intrinsically defined within a mechanically resonating silica micro-cantilever. Fabrication is uniquely achieved through a combination of micro-machining and direct UV writing.
