SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WRITING FIBER GRATINGS

摘要

A system (30) for writing fiber gratings has a plurality of writing stations (44, 46), each writing station (44, 46) including a fiber mounting fixture (52, 62) for receiving an optical fiber to be exposed to a beam (36) from a laser (34). The system includes a data capture module (54) for capturing dat a generated from the exposure of optical fibers in each writing stations (44, 46) and a steering assembly (48, 56, 58) for directing the laser beam (36) t o each of the plurality of writing stations (44, 46) in turn.
