Analysis of the inadequacy of determining the spectral characteristics of optical fibre periodic structures by way of numerical modelling

As part of the work, the error level of simulations of uniform optical-fibre Bragg gratings was determined using the transition matrix method. The errors were established by comparing the transmission characteristics of the structures obtained by simulation with the corresponding characteristics arrived at experimentally. To compile these objects, elementary properties of the characteristics were specified, also affecting the applications of Bragg gratings, and compared with each other. The level of error in determining each of these features was estimated. Relationships were also found between the size of the physical properties of Bragg gratings and the level of errors obtained. Based on the findings, the correctness of the simulation of structures with the said method was verified, giving satisfying results.
