| Abstract | Due to the excellent spectral characteristics, fiber Bragg gratings are widely considered as filters for wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems. Because Bragg gratings are stopband filters they have to be combined with other components such as circulators or couplers in order to work as optical multiplexers. Recently, we analyzed the characteristics of an all-fiber add-drop multiplexer with a Bragg grating within the coupling zone of a fiber coupler. We have shown that the position of the grating has to be chosen carefully for proper device operation. Here we demonstrate a novel dual-channel all-fiber Bragg grating multiplexer. The device is based on a polished fiber coupler. Two 2.8-mm-long Bragg gratings at different wavelengths of 1531.6 nm and 1535.3 nm were written at the same position identically into both fibers of the coupler. This was done easily by using a phase mask and stretching the fibers before writing the gratings. After embedding the fibers in separate glass substrates using an epoxy resin, the fiber claddings were polished off. Because we improved the polishing process, a long and homogenous coupling length of /spl sim/14 mm could be reached. Thus, the actual grating position within the coupling zone is less critical, which makes manufacturing easier. The dependency of the grating position on the Bragg wavelength can be neglected. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
