We have studied, both theoretically and experimentally, fiber Bragg gratings with a number of different chirp profiles. These chirp profiles can easily be achieved by a recently demonstrated technique involving a taper of desired profile etched into the cladding of a fiber. The performances of gratings with linear, quadratic, periodically modulated, and step-chirp profiles are analyzed numerically. The versatility of the technique was demonstrated when linearly and quadratically chirped gratings were made as examples of continuous chirp, and gratings with step chirps were made as examples of discontinuously chirped structures.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in the United States, with an overall favorable prognosis. However, some patients experience poor outcomes due to the development of resistance to conventional therapies. Genetic alterations, including mutations in BRAF, Met, and p53, play critical roles in thyroid cancer progression, with the BRAF V600E mutation detected in over 60% of cases.

Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a deep-learning denoising method that transforms fiber-optic sensor spectra into 2D images and uses a Cycle-GAN model to improve signal quality.
- It demonstrates significant improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), root mean square error (RMSE), and high correlation with original signals compared to traditional denoising methods like wavelet transform and empirical mode decomposition.
- The proposed algorithm successfully reduces noise across different fiber-optic sensors and shows excellent linearity in temperature response, making fiber-optic sensing more effective for various research and industrial applications.
Soliton molecules, or also known as optical bound states, are the most representative example of solitons' particle nature and have given birth to diverse light-matter analogies. Despite detailed research on regular bound states, the soliton molecule synthesis of dissimilar pulses has rarely been reported. Here, soliton molecules formed by dissimilar dissipative solitons are demonstrated in a single-mode mode-locked fiber laser, with an in-depth analysis of their evolution dynamics.

We propose a long-distance target detection method for the wideband FMCW radar based on photonic chirp pulse stitching. The stitching photonic chirp pulse that is generated through optical up- and downconversion of the LFM is employed as local signal for the de-chirping process instead of the LFM itself, as currently used.

The device utilizes a contra-mode conversion Bragg grating (CMC-BG) with strong polarization dependence embedded in a multimode waveguide. Through a sophisticated grating design incorporating tailored chirping and apodization profiles to match modal properties, we have achieved, by simulation, a compact device footprint of 34.
