Abstract
Provided are a Bragg grating and a spectroscopy device including the same. The Bragg grating is disposed at each of opposite ends of a resonator for reflecting light of a certain wavelength band and includes a core member extending from a waveguide of the resonator in a lengthwise direction of the waveguide; a plurality of first refractive members protruding from the core member and spaced apart from each other along the lengthwise direction; and a second refractive member filling spaces between the first refractive members and having a refractive index different from a refractive index of the first refractive members.
Claims2
A Bragg grating disposed at each of opposite ends of a resonator for reflecting light of a certain wavelength band, the Bragg grating comprising:
- a core member extending from a waveguide of the resonator in a lengthwise direction of the waveguide;
- a plurality of first refractive members protruding from the core member in a width direction of the core member, the width direction being perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the waveguide;
- and
- a second refractive member filling spaces between the first refractive members,
- wherein pitches between the plurality of first refractive members vary along the lengthwise direction,
- wherein a protruding length of each of the plurality of first refractive members protruding in the width direction gradually increases along the lengthwise direction toward a center of the core member,
- wherein a protruding length of a first refractive member protruding from the center of the core member has a maximum value in comparison with all other of the plurality of first refractive members,
- wherein a width of the core member in the width direction gradually reduces along the lengthwise direction of the core member toward the center of the core member, and
- wherein the width of the core member at the center of the core member has a minimum value in comparison with all other widths of the core member.
