Fiber Bragg grating side-mode rejection ratio

What is the Side Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR)?

In a spectral plot, the Side Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR) is a critical parameter that quantifies the quality of a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) by comparing the power of the main reflection

The structure of the FBG can vary via the refractive index, or the grating period. The grating period can be uniform or graded, and either localised or distributed in a superstructure. The refractive index has two primary characteristics, the refractive index profile, and the offset. Typically, the refractive index profile can be uniform or apodized, and the refractive index offset is positive or zero. There are six common structures for FBGs;
