Abstract
Based on the coupled mode theory, the influence of the introducing chirp on the bistable characteristics of linear negative
tapered Bragg gratings have been investigated. The results show that introducing positive chirp is helpful to improve the
bistable performance of linear negative tapered Bragg gratings; and the bistable performance can be further optimized by
reasonably selecting the length of the linear negative-tapered Bragg gratings with positive chirp.
