Standard Types Fiber Bragg Gratings

Cut off Wavelength 650, 1000 nm; Mode Field Dia. 2.0, 4.3 µm; Zero-dispersion Wavelength 800 to 1000 nm; Optical Loss <30, <100 dB/kmGreitlex Photonics’ HN-PCF series is a new type of fibers, so-called micro-structured or photonic crystal fibers. This type of fibers features holes or inclusions of a material with different refractive index in the core and/or in the cladding.New dispersion and nonlinear properties can be observed in photonic crystal fibers. Most of the specific applications for micro-structured fibers require their own specific structure of the fiber. Greitlex Photonics has the capabilities to design and fabricate a broad variety of fiber structures according to customer orders.Other parameters are available on the request.The HN-PCF-800 fiber is specially designed for supercontinuum generation using Ti-sapphire ultra-fast femtosecond lasers, while the HN-PCF-1040 fiber is specially designed for supercontinuum generation using Yb-doped picosecond or femtosecond ultra-fast fiber lasers. They replace similar products from the former FORC Photonics.

Wavelength 600-2300 nm; Bandwidth 0.1-1.2 nm; Reflectivity 0.5-99.9%; SLSR ~8, ~10 dB; Fiber Type SM, PM, Double Clad, LMA, Radiation Resistant, Custom; Fiber Pigtail Length ≥0.5, CustomFiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have many applications in optical communication, laser technique and sensing systems. Greitlex 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 Greitlex Photonics’ series of specific application fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) you find:Wavelength Locker FBGsWDM ITU Filter 100/200 GHz FBGsRaman Laser FBGsFabry-Perot Interferometer FBGsHard Environment FBGsRadiation Hard FBGsGTL-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. Greitlex Photonics provides wavelength locker FBGs with very accurate wavelength positions (up to ±0.02 nm).Greitlex 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 Greitlex 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.All those FBGs replace similar products from the former FORC Photonics.
