Abstract:
A new method is presented to fabricate the triangular fiber Bragg grating (TFBG). The fabrication device is simple, only requires a single exposure and does not need to write complicated program. The transfer matrix method is used to design the fiber Bragg grating, and the grating resonant wavelength and the grating reflectivity can be controlled in order to achieve the triangular spectrum. With different fiber tilt angles, the available bandwidth of TFBG, the linearity and the oblique gradient are also different. In the experiment, the angles 1°, 1.5° and 2° are chosen. The results show that the best angle value is 1.5°, and the TFBG has a good linearity, greater gradient and wider available bandwidth.
