Spatially Arrayed Long Period Gratings in Multicore Fiber by Programmable Electrical Arc Discharge

Based on electrical arc discharges mechanisms, we inscribed spatially arrayed long period gratings (LPGs) into a heterogeneous seven-core fiber. The LPG fabrication platform was built upon the commercial fiber fusion splicer with a self-developed real-time control software. With the help of homemade...
