Abstract:Abstract-The generation of dynamic Bragg gratings by the interaction of 2 optical waves through stimulated Brillouin scattering has offered the possibility to implement alloptical functions that were so far impossible to realize in optical fibers. Using this feature a local grating can be placed at any position along an optical fiber and can be repositioned dynamically with a total flexibility through a purely optical interaction. This new tool has found direct applications in all-optical delay lines, demonstr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
