Abstract :
Picosecond soliton pulses from a stabilised figure of eight, dice-pumped erbium fibre laser have been used to investigate the reflection of constant phase pulses off photosensitive Bragg gratings in singlemode fibre. The experimental measurements have shown excellent agreement with theoretical prediction
