Light Pulse Interaction with Narrow Defects in Fiber Bragg Gratings

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Universidad Politecnica de Madrid as follows: --Description of work The proposed research work will be carried out in 2 steps: (I) Formulation of the problem of light propagation on a FBG with a narrow defect in terms of the 1D Maxwell-Lorentz equations. Analysis and numerical computation of the reflection/transmission coefficients for the CME for different defect profiles. (II) Analysis of the pulse trapping/releasing characteristics of the defects: study of the internal defect modes and its excitability characteristics via light pulses.
