The refractive index profile of the fiber core shows the change of the refractive index along the core. The spectral response on the Fiber Bragg Grating shows how the incident broadband signal is split into the transmitted and reflected components, about the Bragg wavelength.

Typically the grating period is the same size as the Bragg wavelength, as shown above. For a grating that reflects at 1,500 nm, the grating period is 500 nm, using a refractive index of 1.5. Longer periods can be used to achieve much broader responses than are possible with a standard FBG. These gratings are called long-period fiber grating ...
Time-resolved simulation of a pulse reflecting from a Bragg mirror. A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a reflector used in waveguides, such as optical fibers.It is a structure formed from multiple layers of alternating materials with different refractive index, or by periodic variation of some characteristic (such as height) of a dielectric waveguide, resulting in periodic variation in the ...
Increasing current in the gain region causes a red shift in laser output due to heating. The reflectivity curve of the passive grating does not change. As a result, the grating will experience loss of reflectivity at the longer wavelengths, and eventually will induce a discontinuous blue shift in the wavelength to find a higher gain mode.

Figure 1: A schematic of a refractive index change of a 2π-FBG-type addressed fiber Bragg structure (a), its spectral response (b). λ B is the central (Bragg) wavelength, Ω is the address frequency, S 1 (λ) - S 3 (λ) denote transfer matrixes describing the uniform sections of the AFBS, S φ (λ) denotes transfer matrix describing the phase ...
The reflectivity of a dielectric mirror is based on the interference of light reflected from the different layers of a dielectric stack. This is the same principle used in multi-layer anti-reflection coatings , which are dielectric stacks which have been designed to minimize rather than maximize reflectivity.
An acousto-optic modulator (AOM), also called a Bragg cell or an acousto-optic deflector (AOD), uses the acousto-optic effect to diffract and shift the frequency of light using sound waves (usually at radio-frequency). They are used in lasers for Q-switching, telecommunications for signal modulation, and in spectroscopy for frequency control.
