Abstract

We introduce an optical delay line based on the nonlinear birefringence effects in a polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating (PMFBG). A 92 ps delay (approximate 360° phase shifts at 10 GHz) is demonstrated with independent of the optical wavelength drifting by tuning the polarization angle of the polarization controller (PC) from 0 to 90°.
