Abstract
In chirped fiber Bragg gratings, structural perturbations and the effect
of cladding-mode coupling are shown to be distinguishable. To this end, the
absolute value and the phase of the experimentally determined complex coupling
coefficient are Fourier transformed separately, yielding a set of discrete
lines that can be clearly identified and be traced back to cladding-modes.
Removing these lines yields the grating properties in the absence of cladding-modes.
