Abstract
We report a record group delay of 19.5 ns (an equivalent group index of 292) measured in a strongly apodized, 2 cm long, femtosecond fiber Bragg grating (FBG). This significant (~4-fold) improvement over the previous record results from the presence of a Fabry-Perot arising from the apodization. The measured group-index spectrum is well explained by a model that accounts for the apodized profiles of the index modulation, propagation loss, and birefringence of the grating. The peak power loss inferred from this model is only ~0.12 m⁻¹, which is one of the lowest values reported for an FBG.
