Inscription of fiber Bragg gratings by ultraviolet femtosecond radiation.

چکیده
We report on what is to our knowledge the first fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings by UV femtosecond radiation. The Bragg gratings, with photoinduced refractive-index modulation up to 1.92 x 10(-3) in H2-loaded SMF-28 and up to 1.05 x 10(-3) in Nufern GF1 fibers, were written by high-intensity (31-77-GW/cm2) femtosecond pulses at 264 nm. The dependence of the refractive-index modulation on intensity at equal fluences points to a two-photon absorption mechanism for grating inscription.

Two Beam Interferometric Inscription of UV femtosecond Fiber Bragg Gratings
The inscription of fiber Bragg gratings with femtosecond laser radiation gives access to a wide range of new materials beyond conventional UV-photosensitive and special hydrogen loaded materials. We have therefore investigated the use of an interferometric technique in combination with UV femtosecond laser pulses to generate fiber Bragg gratings in different types of fibers. Additionally, the t...
متن کاملPoint-by-point inscription of first-order fiber Bragg grating for C-band applications.
The influence of the fiber geometry on the point-by-point inscription of fiber Bragg gratings using a femtosecond laser is highlighted. Fiber Bragg gratings with high spectral quality and strong first-order Bragg resonances within the C-band are achieved by optimizing the inscription process. Large birefringence (1.2x10(-4)) and high degree of polarization-dependent index modulation are observe...

Using point-by-point femtosecond laser inscription, a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) was written in a high NA germania-doped fibre. Thermal tests demonstrated that the FBG could withstand temperatures up to 800°C without significant effects on reflectivity.

متن کاملThermal properties of fiber Bragg gratings inscribed point-by-point by an infrared femtosecond laser
Direct, point-by-point inscription of fiber Bragg gratings by infrared femtosecond laser had been recently reported. Response of these gratings to annealing at temperatures in range 500C to 1050C is studied for the first time. Gratings inscribed by infrared femtosecond lasers were thermally stable at temperatures up to 900C, representing a significant improvement in comparison with the “common”...

We have successfully fabricated a series of sampled fiber Bragg gratings with easily adjustable sampling periods and duty cycles using an 800 nm femtosecond laser point-by-point inscription. The thermal stability of the fabricated fiber gratings was investigated using isochronal annealing tests, which indicated that the fiber gratings are capable of maintaining high reflectivity at temperatures...
