Abstract

Compact superstructure fibre Bragg gratings for the generation of ultra-high speed optical pulse bursts are reported. The gratings are equivalent in response to multi-pass superimposed chirped fibre Bragg gratings (SI-CFBGs), but an arbitrary sequence of consecutive gratings can be replicated in a single fabrication step using a simple trigonometric amplitude-phase function. SI-CFBGs are fabricated in photosensitive optical fibre and the time-resolved reflection of a 10GHz picosecond pulse train is measured via frequency-resolved optical gating and optical sub-harmonic sampling detection techniques. The experimental results are compared to the theoretically simulated grating response and good agreement is found.
