As original author I'd agree with the merger - maybe a redirection to handle the UK spelling of 'Fibre/Fiber' is enough to fix this. --PeterMarkSmith 03:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)


I've tried to tidy it up a bit - wikifying some links and adding a little more detail on chirped gratings. I should try to dig out some useful references as well. Need also to change the reference to apodization or at least add an explanation. I think we also need to work out how to say doping without always meaning semiconductos, though the two proceses are similar. Will revisit JohnGray 23:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks good. References would be a good addition. I agree about the reference to apodization. I'm going to at least make a link there for now.--Srleffler 05:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


I fully agree with the merger - as I understand, the articles point to the same component, wich is more commonly known as fiber bragg grattings. I've got some material to improove this article, I just need time to organize it ;]!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.37.178.140 (talk • contribs) 06:26, November 11, 2006.

I agree with the merger - the DBR article is the best way to cover the theory - it's not a very large article currently. The fibre applications could usefully be a section of that article. It would make sense to retain the redirect though. JohnGray 13:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I oppose merging FBG and DBR. DBR can be in planar waveguide, as a dielectric mirror, or in fiber. FBG is only in fiber. Olegivvit 10:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Would you have a problem then with merging into the DBR article? FBG's can then be treated in that article as a special case.--Srleffler 13:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I oppose - FBG's are a topic all on their own due to their unique practical applications. --PeterMarkSmith 11:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree they're a topic of their own - but I'm not sure that it's a topic with enough content (yet) to keep them split. The theory is the same - the applications may be different but we don't have much on the applications at present To me, the merger seemed a way to make things a little more straightforward, but I don't object to keeping them separate if more FBG stuff is in the pipeline.

[edit] Working on it

Hi,

Please hold off on the merger, I am putting together a lot of material om FBGs so I would like to have a go at a major increase in size (yes with lots! of references).

I will also add to DBR, which are separate to FBGs, specifically in their manufacture and applications.

FYI I am a currently working in the field of FBG sensors, and have done some work on DBR for VCSELs. Grahamwild 17:15, 24 January 2007 (UTC)


requesting addition to the Tilted BFG section. "The angle of tilt in a TFBG has an effect on the reflected wavelength, and bandwidth." What is that effect? Even a very general description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.12.37.51 (talk) 14:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
