3.1.2        Analytic solution for homogeneous FBGs

A homogeneous FBG has constant values for Dnac, Dndc and L in the range 0 £ z £ L. In this case, the coupled mode equations can be solved analytically by differentiating equations (3-2) and substituting the first derivatives by the equations (3-2); for example for u(z,d), we have


(3-4)


The same kind of equation is obtained for v(z,d) [3-2]. Using the appropriate boundary conditions, the reflection amplitude r(d) and the transmission amplitude t(d) are found to be

where g2 = |q|2 - d2. A meaningful expression of q is obtained for a design period that corresponds exactly to the physical period L and for an effective refractive index set to n0+Dndc (and then the integral term in equation (3-3) vanishes). In this case, the coupling coefficient phase factor reduces to p/2 and then q = i|q| = i×h×p×Dnac/l.
