Abstract

We propose a return-to-zero on-off keying (RZ-OOK) to non-return-to-zero (NRZ) OOK conversion scheme based on a transmissive phase-modulated fiber Bragg grating (PM-FBG). The PM-FBG has a spectrum similar to the combination of a delay line interferometer and a narrow band optical filter, which is designed and synthesized using numerical optimization algorithm. The coupling strength of the PM-FBG is almost uniform and the grating period varies along the fiber length according to the optimization method. The designed PM-FBG has been fabricated using advanced ultraviolet laser inscription technique. Experimental results show that such a PM-FBG can perform RZ-OOK to NRZ-OOK format conversion successfully.
