The side-mode rejection ratio (SMRR), also called side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR), is a key parameter that measures the spectral purity of an FBG. It is defined as the ratio of the power of the main Bragg reflection peak to the power of the strongest side lobe, expressed in decibels (dB) . A high SMRR indicates that the main reflection is dominant and side lobes are minimal, which is crucial for:
A high SMRR is essential for precision optical sensing, wavelength filtering, and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. Low SMRR can lead to measurement errors, crosstalk, and reduced system performance. Optimizing grating design, apodization, and fabrication parameters is critical to achieving the desired side-mode rejection. In summary, the side-mode rejection ratio in FBGs is a measure of spectral quality, with typical values of ≥15 dB for standard FBGs and up to 28 dB for high-performance polymer FBGs, directly impacting the accuracy and reliability of optical systems .
