A signal processing algorithm is used to reconstruct the phase response of fiber Bragg
gratings from easy-to-obtain module data. The algorithm is applied to optical spectrum …

This thesis presents the analysis of the local properties of Bragg gratings and their
application to the improvement of standard designs and advanced structures. The time spent …

We revisit representative and widely used inverse-scattering fiber Bragg grating designs and
shed physical insight into their characteristics. We first demonstrate numerically and …

We investigate optical gain and penalty characteristics of a fiber-Bragg-grating based active
optical-add-drop multiplexer (OADM). The active OADM has a two-stage structure and can …

Group velocity dispersion is a well known effect in optical fibres where the frequency
dependence of the group index is responsible for pulse spreading, leading to inter-symbol …

The problem of multipath-interference due to cascaded filters is reported and analyzed here
for the first time. A simple formula is derived, expressing the maximum number of filters that …

The demand for increased data and communications services is driving many carriers to
upgrade their legacy optical systems in the metro-metro-edge region of the communication …
