Simulation of Polarization Maintaining Fiber Bragg Grating
We propose a modified Transfer Matrix Method model to simulate a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in a polarization maintaining optical fiber. A po-larization-maintaining random fiber Bragg grating (PMRFBG) array based on the photonic localization effect of lon-gitudinal invariant transverse disorder in fiber structure is proposed, which can be used as random feedback of dual-wavelength and wavelength switchable output of random fiber. Fiber-Bragg Gratings (FBG) for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) have been studied extensively as they offer electrically passive operation, EMI immunity, high sensitivity, and multiple multiplexing schemes, as compared to conventional electricity based strain sensors.

Phase velocity along the x-axis in optical fiber communication
It is the value that determine the practical "velocity" of the transmission of the information (energy) in the fiber A typical value of S for standard fiber at zero dispersion wavelength is S=0. Chromatic dispersion is the phenomenon that the phase velocity and the group velocity of light propagating in a fiber depend on the optical frequency. Abstract Optical communication systems have evolved over the years from simple intensity modulation and direct detection systems to those involving modulation of amplitude, phase, polarization and transverse modal pro-file. Ray Theory – Light travels along a straight line and obeys laws of geometrical optics. Ray theory is valid when the objects are much larger than the wavelength (multimode fibers) Fiber optic cable functions as a "light guide," guiding the light from one end to the other end.
