The connection between gratings and optical fibers

Home / The connection between gratings and optical fibers

An optical fiber grating is a small segment within an optical fiber altered to act as a selective filter for light. This treated area functions like a specialized mirror, reflecting a specific wavelength of light while allowing all other wavelengths to pass through. In this context, the discovery of photosensitivity in optical fibers led to the establishment of fiber Bragg gratings.
