Abstract :
Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have emerged as important components in a variety of lightwave applications. Their unique filtering properties and versatility as in-fiber devices is illustrated by their use in wavelength-stabilized lasers, fiber lasers, remotely pump amplifiers. Raman amplifiers, phase conjugators, wavelength converters, passive optical networks, wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) demultiplexers, add/drop multiplexers, dispersion compensators, and gain equalizers
