title: Experimental demonstration of an optical differentiator based on a fiber Bragg grating in transmission.
abstract: We report the first experimental demonstration of single transmissive fiber Bragg grating implementation of a first-order optical differentiation. The device has been designed and fabricated, and the experimental results show a good performance over an operational bandwidth of ~2 nm.
