Fiber Bragg Grating (narrow peak)
This interactive simulator explores Fiber Bragg Grating in Optics & Light. λ_B = 2 n_eff Λ; Lorentzian toy reflectivity vs λ and probe wavelength. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Optics & Light.

How it works
Narrowband reflection from a periodic index modulation in the fiber core — the telecom workhorse for filters and strain sensors.
