Abstract
This paper presents the design of a low-dispersion fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) with an optimal grating length. The paper aims to develop a numerical solution for the low-dispersion fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) via a variation of differential evolution, which is called CoDE. A novel objective function formulation is used to the optimal grating length low-dispersion FBG design. CoDE combines several effective trail vector generation strategies with some suitable control parameter settings in a random way to generate trail vectors. The design of a low-dispersion FBG filter with 25-GHz bandwidth is considered. The experimental results of the CoDE algorithm have been shown better than the CMAES algorithm and PSO algorithm in a statistically meaningful way..
