✦ Synopsis

This study proposes a novel fiber-type polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on a high-birefringence fiber Bragg grating (Hi-Bi FBG). The reflective and transmitted modes of the Hi-Bi FBG are used to separate the p-and s-waves of an optical signal. The experimental results show that a 36 dB extinction ratio can be obtained in the reflective mode. However, in the transmitted mode, the extinction ratio is just 4.78 dB since the reflectivity of the Hi-Bi FBG is only 34.75%. It is shown analytically that the extinction ratio in the transmitted mode can be improved to 20 dB by specifying a Hi-Bi FBG with a reflectivity of 99%. Finally, it is shown that the Bragg wavelength of the in-line fiber PBS can be tuned electrically to comply with the working wavelength.

## Abstract A simple switchable dual‐wavelength Er‐doped fiber‐ring laser using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) written in high‐birefringence (HiBi) fibers is proposed. Due to the two‐peak reflections with orthogonal polarizations of the FBG, the polarization hole‐burning effect in the cavity is greatl

In this paper, we completely study the wavelength dependency of differential group delay (DGD) and polarization dependent loss (PDL) for Bragg gratings written in birefringent fibers. Based on the coupled mode theory, we present analytical expressions for the evolution with wavelength of the transmi
