Buying Fiber Bragg Gratings

fiber Bragg gratings

Top-level product category: icon fiber optics

More general product categories: Bragg gratings

Related product categories: optical filters, fiber optics

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are narrowband reflectors constructed within optical fibers that reflect specific wavelengths of light while transmitting others. They are widely used in optical communications for wavelength division multiplexing, in fiber lasers for wavelength stabilization, and in fiber-optic sensors for strain, temperature, and pressure measurements. FBGs provide precise control over the reflection and transmission properties of light within a fiber.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying fiber Bragg gratings. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for fiber Bragg gratings. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

In order for fiber Bragg gratings to function properly and for the optical signals to be reliable, it is essential that the FBGs are equipped with the connector types that are appropriate for the respective situation. When selecting the correct connector type, the mechanical stress and optical requirements must be taken into account.

Diamond can fall back on its extensive knowledge in the field of FBG sensor assemblies as well as in the development and manufacturing of sensor packaging, thus offering a wide range of ideal solutions for your requirements.
