Bragg grating

n.
A diffraction grating created within the structure of a substance, especially an optical fiber, by periodically varying the index of refraction in successive layers within the substance, causing certain frequencies of light passing through the substance to be reflected away and effectively filtered out.

[After Sir William Henry Bragg and Sir William Lawrence Bragg.]

We will derive the relevant results using the transfer matrix method and we will apply these results to study the evolution of longitudinal electromagnetic waves across a fiber Bragg grating. We will evaluate transmission coefficients and transmission times of specific Bragg grating fibers and compare the specific results of the well-established one coupled mode approximation with those of the theory of finite periodic systems (TFPS) and the Mathieu functions approximation.
