Fully Reconfigurable Waveguide Bragg Gratings for Programmable Photonic Signal Processing

Abstract

Fiber Bragg gratings have been invented for over three decades now and have been intensively employed in optical communication and sensor systems. The key limitation of a fiber Bragg grating is that once fabricated, it is hard to be tuned or with very limited tunability via thermal or mechanical tuning. Recently, great efforts have been directed into the study of realizing Bragg gratings on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. The key advantage of Bragg gratings based on SOI is that the gratings can be fast and electrically reconfigured with the use of free-carrier plasma dispersion effect in silicon, which can be employed for fast programmable photonic signal processing. In this article, Bragg gratings based on SOI that are electrically programmable will be reviewed and their use for advanced programmable optical and microwave signal processing will be discussed.
