ABSTRACT

Fiber gratings are among key components in fiber-based photonics systems and, particularly, laser cavities. In the latter, they can play multiple roles, such as those of mirrors, polarizers, filters, or dispersion compensators. In this Letter, we present the inscription of highly reflective first-order fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in soft indium fluoride-based (InF3) fibers using a two-beam phase-mask interferometer and a femtosecond laser. We demonstrate an enhanced response of InF3-based fiber to a visible (400 nm) inscription wavelength compared to ultraviolet irradiation at 266 nm. In this way, FBGs with a reflectivity >99.7% were inscribed at around 1.9 µm with the bandwidth of 2.68 nm. After thermal annealing at 393K, the Bragg wavelength demonstrates stable thermal shift of 20 pm/K in the temperature range 293-373K. These observations suggest a potential extension of InF3 fiber-based laser components to an operational range of up to 5 µm.

ABSTRACT

The femtosecond-laser pulse inscription and characterization of fiber Bragg gratings for operation at visible wavelengths was performed using several types of optical fibers, including single-mode and graded-index fibers designed for near-infrared wavelengths. The obtained bandwidths are very narrow (∼0.12-0.36 nm) for the used exposure conditions, even in graded-index fibers. Thermal and strain characterization was performed, with results about half of those found for C-band gratings. The wavelength dependence of the sensitivity is compared with a Sellmeier model.

ABSTRACT

The sensitivity and dynamical range of an optical-fiber transducer consisting of a long-period grating coated with gold nanoparticles is investigated. For a grating with an 80 µm spatial periodicity, the resonances close to the turning point lie within the 450-900 nm spectral range. Employing a bottom-up production route, the localized surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles is matched to the grating resonances; it is shown that this results in an increase in the refractive index sensitivity of the device. The device also shows increased dynamic range and enhanced refractive index sensitivity in water.

ABSTRACT

In this work, we demonstrate a refractometric fiber sensor with improved sensitivity for refractive indices ranging from 1.3629 to 1.4479. The device relies on the coupling between a long period grating (LPG) transducer and a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Sensor operation is based on the transference of energy from LPG cladding modes at the visible spectral range to the LSPR. The transducer consists of a long period grating 3.15-mm-long covered with 2-7 nm gold nanoparticles. The sensor is intensity coded at a 568 nm wavelength, presenting sensitivity of 208%/unit of refractive index for a refractive index of 1.39 and resolution better than 0.0003 for the dynamic range of refractive indices from 1.3629 to 1.4479.
