“…Thus, in a uniform grating, when white light is transmitted through an optical fiber containing a FBG, a narrow-band of light is 5/29 3/11/2015 reflected back. The central wavelength of the light reflected by the Bragg grating, λ B , depends on the effective refractive index of the fiber core, n eff , and the grating period, Λ, [20,21]:…”
