Photosensitivity in Ge-doped silica optical waveguides and fibers with 193-nm light from an ArF excimer laser.

چکیده
Photosensitivity in optical fibers and waveguides has been associated with the bleaching of an absorption band located near 5.0 eV (or 242 nm). We present new results for Bragg grating formation and UV bleaching experiments carried out using 193-nm light from an ArF excimer laser instead of the usual laser sources operating near 242 or 248 nm.

Resistivity for deep-UV laser irradiation in fluorine doped silica glass fiber
Optical fibers for propagating deep ultraviolet light were developed using fluorine doped silica glasses called modified fused silica. Optimizing the fiber drawing conditions improved the transmission of the fiber in the deep UV region. The transmittance of the fiber at 193 nm reached more than 65% per 1 m long without reflection loss. Significant absorption bands from defects were not observed...
متن کاملLocalized waveguide formation in germanosilicate fiber transmitting femtosecond IR pulses.
Transmission of intense femtosecond 825 nm pulses progressively produces a waveguide at the entrance of a heavily Ge-doped silicate fiber. The waveguide behaves as a multimillimeter long-fiber bandpass filter that scatters away light with wavelengths shorter or longer than 850 nm. This phenomenon has been correlated with the ~800 nm photosensitivity producing type I-IR fiber Bragg gratings in s...

Strong high-quality fiber Bragg gratings with photoinduced refractive-index modulation of more than 10-(3) were written in a Corning SMF-28 fiber, a P(2)O5-doped-core fiber and a pure-silica-core fluorine-doped-cladding fiber by third-harmonic radiation (267 nm, 150 fs and 1.2-1.8x1011 W/cm(2)) of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser using a phase mask. We compare the 267-nm photosensitivity respons...
متن کاملPhotosensitivity and thermal stability of UV- induced fiber Bragg gratings in phosphate glass fibers
The photosensitivity of highly Er/Yb doped and undoped phosphate glass fibers is characterized under irradiation with intense pulsed 193 nm light from an ArF excimer laser through a phase mask. The ultraviolet photosensitivity of the active fibers is shown to be roughly half that of the passive fibers. We also demonstrate that the strong growth of the fiber Bragg grating reflectivity observed u...

Permanent gratings (refractive index modulation ~3x10 ) were written in tin-doped silica -4 optical fibres with low levels of SnO (~0.15 mol %). In Ge-doped silica, ~10 mol% GeO is 2 2 required to produce comparable photorefractivity under similar conditions. Photosensitivity in tin-doped silica optical fibres G. Brambilla, V. Pruneri, L.
