Title: Chirped bragg grating reflectors and adjustable dispersion apparatus incorporating such gratings
Inventor: FELLS JULIAN
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2001-12-05
Abstract: Conventional quadratically chirped fibre Bragg gratings are typically apodis ed at both their high and low chirp ends. The present specification describes a n improved Bragg grating reflector (131, 141) in which a second quadratically chirped region (P2) is arranged in front on the high chirp end of a substantially conventional quadratically chirped portion (P1). The high chir p end of the first portion (P1) is not apodised; instead this apodisation take s place in the second portion (P2), and so enables the first portion to exhibi t appreciable reflectivity to signals having wavelengths extending to the Brag g wavelength corresponding to the high chirp end of the first portion. The present invention thus enables the useable bandwidth of a quadratically chirped grating to be increased, and so enables an increased tuning range to  be achieved in adjustable dispersion (and adjustable dispersion compensation ) apparatus incorporating such gratings.
