Abstract

Optical fiber polarizer and grating are two widely used fiber components and in this paper we proposed an integrated polarizing grating fabricated in polarization-holding fiber, which achieves reflecting and polarizing functions simultaneously. A D-shaped multilayer grating waveguide model was established and the linearly polarizing principles in both reflection and transmission ports were presented. An integrated polarization-holding fiber polarizing grating was fabricated and the laser polarization states of incidence, reflection and transmission were all measured, showing that this integrated fiber device can achieve reflecting and polarizing functions simultaneously. The discrimination between the reflection and transmission was also investigated.
