High-spatial-frequency fringes associated with reflection holographic optical elements are difficult to obtain with currently available recording materials. In this work, holographic reflection gratings were stored in a polyvinyl alcohol/acrylamide photopolymer. This material is formed of acrylamide photopolymer, which is considered interesting material for optical storage applications such as holographic memories. The experimental procedure for examining the high-spatial-frequency response of this material is explained, and the experimental results obtained are presented. With the aim of obtaining the best results, the performance of different material compositions is compared.

The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is fabricated by the femtosecond laser writing technique with a plane-by-plane (Pl-by-Pl) method in the double-cladding fiber (DCF). The refractive index modified (RIM) region formed by this method is 12 μm × 8 μm in size. Due to the Pl-by-Pl method, high-order Bragg resonances with reflectance greater than 99% can be achieved.

We propose an all-optical approach to achieve integrated optical nonreciprocity utilizing a moving index grating. The grating is generated in a nonlinear optical waveguide through the Kerr effect by driving the waveguide with two counter-propagating pump fields of slightly different frequencies.

It operates in reflection geometry with on-axis illumination, so that it can be conveniently applied to surface texture measurements. The system consists of two identical 4f systems forming the reference and sample arm.

However, due to the inadequate temperature resistance of the optical dielectric film, maintaining a high level of precision in the rigid F-P cavity at elevated temperatures proves to be challenging. Volume Bragg grating (VBG) is a three-dimensional optical element modified by a femtosecond laser within a transparent glass medium to create a periodic refractive index distribution.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSapphire fiber Bragg gratings (SFBGs) are promising high-temperature sensors in many harsh environments, such as aviation, nuclear power, and furnaces. Here, we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a quasi-distributed high-temperature sensor based on an SFBG array sealed in an argon gas-infiltrated sapphire tube interrogated by using an InGaAs-based interrogator. An SFBG array including five SFBGs was inscribed using the femtosecond laser line-by-line method and sealed in an argon gas-infiltrated sapphire tube.
