Simulation parameters of chirped fiber gratings
In this note, we introduce how to numerically simulate a Bragg grating with a spatially varying period/coupling coefficient ($kappa$). GDS is intuitively easy to use with just two separate Graphical User Interface (GUI) windows and a limited amount of required settings. The aim of GDS is not only to simulate Fiber Bragg Gratings, but also to provide the end-user the parameters to continue fabricating the simulated grating. Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) are one of the most popular technology within fiber-optic sensors, and they allow the measurement of mechanical, thermal, and physical parameters. In recent years, a strong emphasis has been placed on the fabrication and application of chirped FBGs (CFBGs), which are.
