Abstract :
Summary form only given. Optical signal processing through Bragg diffraction requires high diffraction efficiencies and angular selectivities. We present experimental results showing how the diffraction properties of an index grating can be enhanced by using a Fabry-Perot resonator. In order to demonstrate the actual performances of intracavity Bragg gratings, we used an organic dye dissolved in ethanol as the nonlinear medium filling the Fabry-Perot cavity.
