ABSTRACT:
An optical pulse time spreader which can generate a chip pulse string of which intensity is equalized. The reflectances R1, R2and Rkof the first, second and k-th (k is an integer which satisfies 3≦k≦J) unit FBG are given by the following formulae respectively.in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?R1=Pc(constant) (a)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?R2=Pc/(1−R1)2 (b)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?Rk=(Pc1/2−Pk1/2)2/{(1−R1)2·(1−R2)2. . .

(1−Rk-1)2} (c-2)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?Here Pcis an arbitrary constant, and Pkis an intensity of a triple reflection chip pulse which is output for the k-th time. The formulae (c-1) and (c-2) are the reflectance of the k-th unit diffraction grating when the phase difference between the single reflection chip pulse, which is output for the k-th time, and the triple reflection chip pulse, which is output for the k-th time, is 0 and π respectively.
