Π-Phase Shifted Fiber Bragg Grating
Phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings refer to the introduction of a refractive index modulation mutation at a certain position in the middle of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG), generating a fiber Bragg grating with a fixed phase mutation at this position. These two gratings are similar to wavelength-selective Fabry-Perot resonators, allowing light of the resonant wavelength to be injected into the stopband of the FBG. Thus, a linearly extremely narrow refraction window is opened in the stopband. In the field of lasers, phase-shifted fiber gratings are mainly used to fabricate low-noise single-frequency narrow-linewidth fiber lasers, ensuring resonance within the laser cavity with their ultra-narrow narrowband transmission peaks and large free spectral range.
