Fiber Bragg gratings have long been a central component in many telecommunications and sensing applications. One variant of these devices is the tilted fiber Bragg grating, which will reflect light out of the side of optical fiber. This is useful as the reflected light can be used to excite a coating on the fiber that may be sensitive to the surrounding environment. In this study we will examine the efficiency of the reflection for several specialty optical fibers to determine which properties are important for maximize efficiency.

光纤布拉格光栅长期以来一直是许多电信和传感应用的核心组件。这些设备的一种变体是倾斜光纤布拉格光栅，它将光从光纤侧面反射出去。这很有用，因为反射光可用于激发光纤上可能对周围环境敏感的涂层。在本研究中，我们将检查几种特种光纤的反射效率，以确定哪些属性对于最大化效率很重要。
