Abstract

Fibre grating technology can be used to design and fabricate reflective filters with accurately controlled complex phase and amplitude responses and thereby provide a powerful means to reshape short optical pulses in both time and frequency. We review recent progress in the area and present various applications focussed primarily in the areas of all-optical coding and decoding, and pulse retiming.
