Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) is a miniaturised optical reflector built in an optical fibre that reflects particular wavelength of light and transmits all others. FBGs can be used broadly in optical sensing systems and optical communication systems. In the meantime, the ultra-narrow bandwidth of FBGs making it extremely suitable for high-power ultra-narrow band fibre lasers.
FBGs are extremely sensitive to external environment changes such as temperature, pressure, strain, etc. Thus, FBGs have diverse applications in industries such as oil and gas, mining, power plant, clean energy and health monitoring, etc.
Traditional FBGs are inscribed by UV light and a phase mask. This technique for manufacturing FBGs is well established in the industry, yet the process features:
- Low mechanical strength
- Low temperature stability
- Low fabrication flexibility
- limited dynamic range
These limitations may constrain FBGs’ performance in optical sensing and communication systems.
Enabled by the world-leading ultrafast laser intelligent nanofabrication technology, Innofocus has developed fully customisable Ultrafast FBG devices manufactured with ultrafast femtosecond laser pulses, demonstrating high performance and high consistency. UFBGs are extremely suitable for a wide range of industries including oil & gas, mining, transportation and other sensing applications, optical communication systems, and even meeting the high requirements for high-power fibre lasers.
UFBG_S are femtosecond laser fabricated single FBG with standard reflectivity. There are two key product categories for UFBG_S:
