Applications of fiber Bragg gratings to microwave photonics (invited paper)

Some of the work that has been recently carried outjointly by the Optical Communications Group of the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and the Optical Fibre Group of the Universidad de Valancia on the applications of fiber Bragg gratings to microwave photonics is described. The paper investigates separately some applications of linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings (LCFBGs) and uniform fiber Bragg gratings (UFBGs).
