Abstract
The highly Ge-doped photosensitive fiber (PSF) has been widely used in the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). Its birefringence and cladding mode coupling characteristics greatly influence FBG's transmission feature in communication application areas. In this work, a new concept of the PSF is introduced which, along with an optimized birefringence design, a precisely controlled fabrication process, and a cladding mode depressed design, results in a written FBG with -25-dB clad mode-depressed ratio and a polarization mode dispersion value less than 0.045 ps.
