Abstract
Abstract This study presents an analytical model analysis of reflection/transmission characteristics of long-period fiber Bragg grating (LPFBG) by using coupled mode theory. Reflected signal power is deeply studied against grating length at the optimum operating signal wavelength of 1550 nm for the proposed and previous models. Reflectivity and transmission coefficient are also clarified versus operating wavelength for the previous model and proposed a model with a central wavelength of 1550 nm, Δ n = 0.003 and optimum grating length of 30 mm. In the same way, the reflectivity and transmission coefficient are outlined against relative refractive grating difference step at the optimum wavelength of 1550 nm and optimum grating length of 30 mm. The optimum LPFBG can be achieved with the optimum grating length of 30 mm, operating wavelength of 1550 nm and relative refractive grating difference step of 0.3 %.
