Abstract
We present an analysis of the transmission properties of index-shifted Brag g gratings. Theoretical predictions of the transmission properties of these gratings are obtained using a generalized transfer matrix method. Our theo retical predictions show that a precise modification of the average refract ive index of Bragg gratings can lead to the generation of narrowband transm ission windows within a broad low transmission band. The theoretical predic tions are compared to experimental results obtained with fiber Bragg gratin gs. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
