Passband characteristics of arrayed waveguide gratings
The passband frequency response of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) is improved for better performance in wavelength-division multiplexing applications. Using the lengths of array arms as optimization variables, an optimization method is employed to obtain an ideal flat-top. Controlling the dispersion of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) will be essential in 40 Gigabit per second (Gbps) transmission systems and in spectrally efficient 10 Gbps systems (50 GHz spacing). Having the ability to design the dispersion characteristics in an AWG offers significant advantages.

Fiber Bragg Grating SC Reflector
The FBG reflector is a standard SC/LC type connector structure, which package a special FBG in the ceramic ferrule. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. With its low insertion loss in the transmission wavelength range and high reflectivity in the reflection wavelength range it is the ideal optical termination for FTTX network link monitoring, FTTX reflectors. 📦 For purchasing, use the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide for fiber Bragg gratings.

Fiber Bragg Grating for Dispersion Compensation
This lesson demonstrates the possibility for dispersion compensation with the help of fiber Bragg Grating created with the Fiber Grating component. A comprehensive investigation is conducted using Gaussian-apodized linear chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) for dispersion. The dispersion-compensating fibers (DCFs) discussed in the previous tutorial suffer from high insertion losses because of their relatively long lengths. It shows that variation of EDFA gain plays a significant role in performance of transmission system. Tanh apodization and linear chirp functions are added to the proposed model to provide a Linear Chirped FBG.
