Abstract

Sampled and linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings provide multiple wavelength responses and linear group delays (constant dispersions) within each of the wavelength channels. We show that the sampled and chirped fiber Bragg gratings can be used to perform multiwavelength signal processing. In particular, we demonstrate, by numerical simulation, their use for performing real-time Fourier transform (RTFT) and for pulse repetition rate multiplication (PRRM) simultaneously over multiple wavelength channels. To present how the sampled fiber Bragg gratings perform the multichannel optical signal processing, a 9-channel sampled fiber grating with 100GHz channel spacing was designed and the effect of ripples in both amplitude and the group delay channel on the performance of the signal processing was examined and discussed.
