“…Another way to combat dispersion effects is to use chirped fibre Bragg gratings as dispersion compensators. The transmission performance of a system with chirped Bragg gratings has been proven to be significantly superior to that of an equivalent DCF module [13].…”

“…[25] Building upon this work, Rourke et al obviated the UV-trimming step by using the fiber fluorescence magnitude during UV-irradiation to align each new phase mask with the previously inscribed fiber grating. [26] Although these methods generated meter-long fiber gratings, they required highly specialized phase masks to be fabricated for each new grating design. These approaches were not developed past the proof-of-principle stage and thus never produced broadband DCGs useful for telecommunications systems.…”

This paper provides an overview and technology update of a dispersion management component made from chirped fiber Bragg gratings. The history and technology of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been extensively covered in several excellent review articles, [1-6] book chapters, [7] and books. [8,9] We give a brief overview of fiber Bragg grating technology in this section and then focus on the details concerned with construction and performance of dispersion management devices in optical communications systems with a single broadband long-length grating used in reflection. Sampled chirped grating are sometimes referred to as broadband devices, but they actually have a narrow bandwidth of operation that is periodically repeated across a given spectral range. Although these periodic devices have shown promise as dispersion management devices in communications systems, they will not be discussed in this paper.

“…New techniques of fabrication have then been developed for the realization of long gratings. In these techniques, the apparatus that forms the UV interferences or the fiber is shifted during the photoinscription using interferometrically-controlled set-ups [19][20][21]. Although considerable progress has been made, those very long gratings, of length greater than a meter, still suffer from low realization reproducibility and high ripple in group-delay response.…”

Bragg gratings photoimprinted in optical fibers have become essential for flattening the gain of amplifiers, stabilizing the wavelength of pumps or sources, and for fiber lasers. Advantages are low insertion loss, very low polarization sensitivity and an extremely flexible design. Those advantages make gratings also very attractive candidates for applications of complex filtering or precise chromatic dispersion compensation. This article briefly describes the different types of Bragg gratings as well as several examples of applications in optical telecommunications. To cite this article: I. Riant, C. R.

Résumé Les réseaux de Bragg photoinscrits dans les fibres optiques sont devenus indispensables pour l'égalisation du gain des amplificateurs, la stabilisation en longueur d'onde des pompes ou des sources, et pour les lasers à fibre. Leurs atouts majeurs sont de faibles pertes d'insertion, une très faible sensibilité à la polarisation et une conception extrêmement flexible. Ces atouts en font également des candidats très attractifs pour les applications de filtrage complexe ou de compensation de dispersion chromatique fine. Cet article décrit brièvement les différentes familles de réseaux de Bragg ainsi que quelques exemples d'applications dans les télécommunications optiques. Pour citer cet article : I. Riant, C. R.
