Abstract :
A wavelength-multiplexed reflection-type photorefractive (PR) fiber hologram using a tunable visible-light laser diode is presented. We have shown that the wavelength-multiplexed PR fiber hologram offers a higher and more uniform wavelength selectivity than that of the transmission-type. Experimental demonstrations of wavelength-multiplexed reflection-type PR fiber hologram are provided, which are consistent with the theoretical analysis.<>
