Second Edition
By
Raman Kashyap, Professor, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada
Included in series
Optics and Photonics,
Description
- Provides an overview of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs), from fundamentals to applications
- Evaluates the advantages and
disadvantages of particular applications, methods and techniques
- Contains new chapters on sensing, femtosecond laser writing
of FBGs and poling of glass and optical fibers
This fully revised, updated and expanded second edition covers the substantial
advances in the manufacture and use of FBGs in the years since the publication of the pioneering first edition. It presents a comprehensive
treatise on FBGs and addresses issues such as the merits of one solution over another; why particular fabrication methods are preferred;
and what advantages a user may gain from certain techniques.
Beginning with the principles of FBGs, the book progresses
to discuss photosensitization of optical fibers, Bragg grating fabrication and theory, properties of gratings, specific applications,
sensing technology, glass poling, advances in femtosecond laser writing of Bragg gratings and FBG measurement techniques. In addition
to material on telecommunications usage of FBGs, application areas such as fiber lasers and sensors are addressed in greater detail.
In addition to researchers, scientists, and graduate students, this book will be of interest to industrial practitioners in
the field of fabrication of fiber optic materials and devices.
Raman Kashyap, Canada Research Chair holder
on Future Photonics Systems, and Professor at cole Polytechnique, University of Montr al since 2003, has researched optical fibers and
devices for over 30 years. He pioneered the fabrication of FBGs and applications in telecommunications and photonics.
