Reflecting Volume Bragg Gratings

Wavelength 600-2500 nm; Bandwidth 0.2-100 nm; Diffraction Efficiency 5-99%; Thickness Up to 50 mm; Aperture Up to 20x20 mm OptiGrate’s chirped volume Bragg gratings (CBGs) are diffractive optical elements operating as reflecting Bragg gratings with a period gradually varying along direction of beam propagation. This feature results in reflection of different wavelengths from different holographically recorded planes inside the grating. OptiGrate’s BragGrate™ Pulse is the first commercially available Chirped Bragg Grating (CBG) based product designed for the stretching and compression of ultra-short (femtosecond and picosecond) laser pulses in Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) and other Ultra-Short Pulse Laser (USPL) systems. It is the most compact and robust stretcher/compressor solution for high-energy and high-average-power ultra-short pulsed laser systems. The BragGrate™ Tuner is a reflecting volume Bragg grating with chirped period in one direction across its aperture, recorded in a bulk of photosensitive silicate glass. BragGrate™ Tuners can be used as an output coupler or HR mirror in a laser resonator. It enables both spectral stabilization and tuning of the laser radiation. High laser damage threshold makes these gratings suitable for usage in high-power and high-energy pulsed lasers. Tunable lasers based on these components are simple, compact, and robust. Simple linear translation of grating without angular adjustment is needed for wavelength tuning. Lasers with BragGrate™ Tuners can operate in selective laser melting (SLM) regime.

FORC Photonics’ series of specific application FBGs are widely used for applications like in-fiber mirrors or optical filters with narrowband optical spectrum. Fiber Bragg gratings also are one of the most popular elements in the field of fiber-optic sensing. Within FORC Photonics’ series of specific application fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) you find: Wavelength Locker FBGs WDM ITU Filter 100/200 GHz FBGs Raman Laser FBGs Fabry-Perot Interferometer FBGs Hard Environment FBGs Radiation Hard FBGs GTL-FBG-WL-810 wavelength locker fiber Bragg gratings are used as external reflectors for laser diodes. With the help of these FBGs it is easy to stabilize the wavelength generation of pump semiconductor lasers and single-frequency lasers. Low-reflection gratings with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of 0.3 nm to 0.8 nm and a reflectivity of 2% to 5 % are ideal for stabilizing pump power lasers. FBGs with FWHM bandwidths around 0.1 nm and reflections of 10% to 20% are used close to semiconductor laser crystals for creation of single-frequency sources. FORC Photonics provides wavelength locker FBGs with very accurate wavelength positions (up to ±0.02 nm). FORC Photonics’ GTL-FBG-WDM-810 series of WDM ITU Filter 100/200 GHz fiber Bragg gratings with narrow spectral bandwidth are good elements for filtering optical signals. Such FBGs are widely used as optical add/drop multiplexer in WDM systems. A high level of SLSR is allowed to avoid adjacent channel crosstalk in systems. These FBGs feature a flat-top reflection spectrum and steep spectral roll-down. Athermal packaging of the FBG with wavelength stability <0.16 nm for a temperature range of 0°C to +70⁰C is required for stable operation. Highly efficient multi-cascaded Raman lasers based on phosphosilicate fibers can be created at different wavelength using our GTL-FBG-RL-880 Raman laser fiber Bragg gratings. Compared to Germanium-doped fibers, an approximately three times larger Raman shift can be achieved. For many applications where very small temperature or strain changes have to be measured using acoustic waves, the sensitivity can be enhanced by using pairs of FBGs. A Fabry-Perot interferometer based on FORC Photonics’ GTL-FBG-FPI-810 Fabry-Perot interferometer fiber Bragg gratings is such a pair of FBGs, allowing to detect a small phase shift. By coating the fiber between the gratings with an electric, magnetic or acoustic enhancing coating, very small changes of these fields can be measured. For sensing purposes and to evaluate small vibration or acoustic signals via an interferometric method, it is often sufficient to work with a low-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity. GTL-FBG-HE-810 hard environment fiber Bragg gratings can be provided as separated or chains of FBGs with different wavelengths, allowing for multipoint temperature monitoring. Different types of single mode (SM) optical fibers and fiber coatings can be used for writing these gratings. High-temperature acrylate coated fibers apply for temperature ranges up to +150°C. Polyimide or metal (Cu, Al) coated fibers are used for high-temperature applications with maximum temperatures of +300°C and +500°C respectively. Using a steel tube protection, our hard environment FBGs can be applied up to +700°C. GTL-FBG-RH-880 radiation hard fiber Bragg gratings written in radiation resistant pure silica core fibers are ideal for applications in the atomic energy industry, aerospace and other radiation intense environments.

FORC Photonics’ series of standard types FBGs are widely used for applications like in-fiber mirrors or optical filters with narrowband optical spectrum and can act as a sensor element for strain and temperature measuring. Within FORC Photonics’ series of standard types fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) you find: Uniform Fiber Bragg Gratings Apodized Fiber Bragg Gratings Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings Apodized-chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings Fiber Laser Matched Fiber Bragg Gratings Tilted Fiber Bragg Gratings π-Phase-Shifted Fiber Bragg Gratings GTL-FBG-UF-810 uniform fiber Bragg gratings are produced with grating lengths from 0.5 mm to 10 mm. Such gratings show their full width at half maximum (FWHM) from 0.015 nm (R = 25%) to 0.03 nm (R = 90%) for 633 nm wavelength (0.1 nm and 0.17 nm at 1580 nm) and gratings length 9 mm. Standard uniform FBGs have a bandwidth of 0.15 nm to 0.6 nm, a reflectivity of 5% to 99% and grating lengths of 1 mm to 3.5 mm. Fiber Bragg gratings are sensitive to changes of strain and temperature. Uniform FBGs can be provided as separated units or chains of FBGs with different wavelengths. By using chain FBGs, multipoint monitoring of temperature, strain or other physical parameters is available. Different types of single mode optical fibers and fiber coatings are used. Acrylate coated fibers for normal temperature range of -40˚C to +100˚C. Polyimide or metal (Cu, Al) coated fibers are used for high-temperature applications with maximum temperatures of +300˚C and +500˚C respectively. GTL-FBG-AD-820 apodized fiber Bragg gratings show a special profile of induced refractive index and grating strength along the grating length. Therefore, the side lobes level becomes smaller compared to ordinary gratings. There are a lot of apodized profiles which lead to the optimization of various FBG parameters (strength, FWHM, side lobe suppression ratio (SLSR)). Apodized FBGs are useful in sensing applications, signal and Brillouin scatter filtering and others. Possible value of SLSR for different grating strengths is -10 dB to -30 dB. Our GTL-FBG-CR-840 chirped fiber Bragg gratings feature a linear variation of the FBG period along the grating length. Chirped FBGs are manufactured by using a non-periodic phase mask. The available chirp rate of the phase mask period can range from 0.01 nm/cm to 30 nm/cm. Therefore, such FBGs have a wide spectrum bandwidth and special dispersion characteristics. Chirped FBGs are useful for gain-flattening EDFA and ASE light sources, band stop filters, in ultrafast mode-locked fiber lasers, powerful lasers, and chromatic dispersion compensation telecom systems. Apodization of chirped FBG is necessary to obtain FBGs with a smooth reflection spectrum. There are several apodization profiles that lead to the optimization of various parameters of the FBG such as reflection coefficient, FWDM, side lobe suppression ratio (SLSR), or the parameter of dispersion. In chirped FBGs the dispersion is determined by the rate of change of the period along the length of the FBG. Within the GTL-FBG-ADG-820 series of apodized-chirped fiber Bragg gratings, FORC Photonics has implemented several types of apodization profiles: Sine, Gauss, Semi Gauss and Super Gauss. The simplest type of apodization is "Sine", which "saves" the length of the FBG and provides a (SLSR) value of about 20 dB. The "Gauss" apodization function provides the best SLSR value in the order of 30 dB. For many applications, such as pulsed fiber lasers, there are special requirements for the dispersion value and the shape of the reflection profile. "Gauss" apodization of chirped FBGs allows to obtain excellent results in these applications. The "SuperGauss" type of apodization is intended for obtaining a flat-top reflection spectrum. Apodized FBGs are useful in sensing applications, signal and Brillouin scatter filtering and others. Our GTL-FBG-LP-830 fiber laser matched FBG pairs are an ideal solution for fiber laser fabrication. Minimum insertion losses and other parameters are optimal for lasers with output powers of several tens of W. High- and low-reflection gratings are available, with the high-reflection grating showing -20 dB levels of about 0.5 nm to 0.7 nm. The low-reflection output grating with 5% to 40% reflectivity has FWHM values of 0.15 nm to 0.35nm. The mismatching of LR relative to HR grating is up to ±0.15 nm. For narrow-line fiber lasers we provide FBG pairs with FWHM values around or below 0.1 nm for ideal matching without adjustment. GTL-FBG-TL-860 tilted fiber Bragg gratings have an angle between the wave vector of the grating and the fiber axis. Therefore, cladding modes resonance peaks become more intensive compared to ordinary gratings. The wavelengths of tilted fiber Bragg gratings cladding modes resonances are highly sensitive to the refractive index of the medium outside the fiber cladding. TFBGs are useful in sensing applications. Possible values of the tilt angle are 1⁰ to 45⁰. GTL-FBG-PS-870 π-phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings have a very narrow peak within their transmission/reflection spectrum. Phase-shifted FBGs are gratings with a phase defect in the center. While the grating length determines its bandwidth, the spectral width of that peak depends on the strength of the FBG’s both parts. Typical FWHM values for our π-phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings are 0.1 nm to 0.005 nm. A typical application of phase-shifted FBGs are narrow-bandwidth optical filters for single-frequency fiber lasers.

BragGrate™ Deflector is a transmitting volume Bragg grating recorded in a bulk of photosensitive silicate glass. The Deflector acts as a very narrow band mode selector in angular and spectral spaces and, therefore, enables spectrally selective beam steering and angular magnification. The spectral filtering is as narrow as 0.1 nm and can easily achieve deflection angles of up to 45°. The grating is embedded inside the glass material and is stable to light powers exceeding 1 kW, temperatures >+400°C, and is fully environmentally stable. BragGrate™ Combiner is a transmitting volume Bragg grating (or sets of gratings) that is used for spectral beam combining (SBC). This element enables combining of laser radiation from multiple sources into a single, nearly diffraction-limited beam with increased energy brightness. SBC by means of our BragGrate™ Combiner is a simple and robust technique for combining high-power laser radiation with a record spectral brightness. Excellent mechanical properties and a refractive index that is independent of temperature enables the combiners to withstand high-power laser radiation, thus making the components the ideal element for high-powered SBC.
