Abstract :
We demonstrate that linearly tapered fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) display nonlinear group delay under strain or stress. The nonlinear group delay of the tapered FBG is analyzed theoretically. Experimental results show a good agreement with the analysis. We are the first to find that linearly tapered FBGs can be used in dispersion slope compensation.
