The key characteristic of CFBGs is that their reflection spectrum depends on the strain/temperature observed in each section of the grating; thus, they enable a short-length distributed sensing, whereas it is possible to detect spatially resolved variations of temperature or.

Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) are one of the most popular technology within fiber-optic sensors, and they allow the measurement of mechanical, thermal, and physical parameters. In recent years, a strong emphasis has been placed on the fabrication and application of chirped FBGs (CFBGs), which are. At the time of this research, C. ca) were with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Photonic Systems Group, McGill University, 3480 University Street, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2A7, Canada. Wang is now with JDS Uniphase, 570 Hunt. A scheme comprising only four optimized linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings (LCFBGs) is proposed for compensating the dispersion effects in 48 × 20 Gbps DWDM system. Each grating is designed to reflect twelve channels.
