Fibre Bragg Gratings

Fibre Bragg Gratings
Dr. Ken Hill of CRC and Mr. Peter Kung of QPS Semiconductors Ltd. examine Bragg gratings in Dr. Hill’s laboratory after signing a license agreement in 1995.
In 1978, Dr. Ken Hill discovered the photosensitivity of optical fibre that led to fibre Bragg gratings - a major enabler of fibre optics communication today.
