Abstract

We report on the inscription and characterization of narrow bandwidth fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in different spectral regions using polymer optical fibers (POFs). Narrow bandwidth FBGs are increasingly essential for optical filtering in POF transmission systems and photonic applications. Long FBGs with resonance wavelengths of around 600, 850 and 1550 nm were inscribed in several types of polymer optical fibers using a scanning technique with a short optical path. The technique allowed the inscription in relatively short periods of time. The achieved 3 dB bandwidth varied from 0.22 down to 0.045 nm considering FBG lengths of 10 and 25 mm, respectively.
