Abstract :
Summary form only given. The advent of low insertion-loss, high efficiency gratings photoinduced directly in the core of optical fiber leads to a wide range of applications. Optical fiber Bragg grating (OFBG) technology is now "coming of age", with the likely inclusion of fiber gratings in devices to be incorporated in commercial communication systems. This talk will describe these communications applications, and discuss some of the issues to be addressed in ensuring the reliability and long-term stability of OFBGs.
