Bh. Lee et al., DISPLACEMENTS OF THE RESONANT PEAKS OF A LONG-PERIOD FIBER GRATING INDUCED BY A CHANGE OF AMBIENT REFRACTIVE-INDEX, Optics letters, 22(23), 1997, pp. 1769-1771
We present a graphic method of analyzing the spectral displacements of
a long-period fiber grating as a function of ambient index. Mode depe
ndence of the maximum displacement, disappearance of a particular reso
nance peak, and spectral behavior when the ambient index is larger tha
n that of the cladding material are investigated and compared with exp
erimental results. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
