Hybrid optoelectronic bistability in a fiber Bragg grating by use of a tunable fiber laser

Opt Lett. 2005 Feb 15;30(4):418-20. doi: 10.1364/ol.30.000418.

Abstract

We report the observation of hybrid optoelectronic bistability in a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) by use of an electro-optically tuned cw fiber laser in which another wavelength-matched FBG is employed to constitute a tunable resonant cavity. The potential application of such a device as a fiber-optic sensor is also discussed.
