Abstract
The dynamic gain equalizer consisting of gratings made of holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal is explored and the structure and principle presented. The properties of the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal grating are analyzed in light of the rigorous coupled-wave theory. Experimental study is also conducted in which a beam of infrared laser was incident to the grating sample and an alternating current electric field applied. The electro-optical properties of the grating and the influence of the applied field were observed. The results of the experiment agree with that of the theory quite well. The design method of the dynamic gain equalizer with the help of numerical simulation is presented too. The study shows that holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal gratings have great potential to play a role in fiber optics communication.
