Abstract

We demonstrate a nonlinear light mode dispersion and a nonuniform frequency mode comb by a chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBG) Fabry-Perot (FP) at the 1550 nm wavelength regime. We give analytical expressions for the general chirp case, and an experimental demonstration with a linear chirp, showing a square-root dependence of the dispersion as a function of the FP mode number. Such sublinear dispersion is required, for example, for photon Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a one-dimensional (1D) system like fiber cavities.
