Abstract

In this paper, a comprehensive, general and unified method for the complete analysis and synthesis of fiber Bragg gratings is proposed. The formalism is based on the well-known multilayer thin-film filters and transfer-matrix theories, considering the Bragg grating structure as a linear and time-invariant system. The developed analysis and synthesis algorithms have been significantly improved to be used on any kind of complex perturbation profiles, allowing the characterization and `ad hoc´ designs in both time and frequency domains.
