K. Hogari et al., WIDE-BAND AND HIGHLY REFLECTIVE STEP-CHIRPED FIBER GRATING FILTER EMBEDDED IN AN OPTICAL-FIBER CONNECTOR, Electronics Letters, 32(13), 1996, pp. 1230-1231
A wideband and highly reflective step-chirped fibre grating filter is
embedded in an SC-type connector to reject the optical maintenance sig
nal. The filter is 15mm long, and its transmission loss and bandwidth
(FWHM) >35dB and 15nm at wavelengths around 1550 or 1610nm, respective
ly. The transmission and mechanical characteristics are confirmed to b
e stable.
