摘要： Embodiments of the invention include a singlemode optical fiber (10) having an antimony (Sb) doped core region (12), a suitable cladding region (14) formed on the core region, and one or more gratings (16) written in the optical fiber. Optical fibers manufactured according to embodiments of the invention provide faster growth of grating strength, higher thermal stability, and longer photosensitive wavelength compared to conventional Ge doped silica optical fibers. The optical fiber is fabricated for applications such as fiber grating applications where the index of the core is modulated by UV radiation. Also, the addition of Sb in the core region of the singlemode optical fiber provides higher temperature (for example, greater than 100° C) applications of fiber gratings and a reduced degradation of the band rejection efficiency. Also, the optical fibers are more conducive to direct and non-destructive grating writing over polymer jackets with a longer photosensitive wavelength in the UV range.
