    摘要: A grating (12) is induced in the core (14) of a hydrogen-loaded high-germanium-content optical fiber (10) using near-UV (275 nm-390 nm) laser light (40). An interference pattern is generated at the core (14) using a molded polymer phase mask (30) with a square wave surface relief pattern (34). The light (40) is directed through the phase mask (30), through a protective fiber coating (18), through the cladding (16), and into the core (14). The phase mask (30) generates an interference pattern with a period half that of the surface relief pattern (34). Index of refraction changes occur at the bright fringes of the interference pattern, thus creating the grating. Advantages over existing mid-UV technology include lower fabrication costs for phase masks, simplified grating induction since fiber coatings do not need to be removed, and reduced infrared absorption caused by grating formation in the fiber.

    摘要: The method of making an optical fiber refractive index grating comprises writing the grating through the fiber coating. The method involves providing optical fiber of significantly higher photosensitivity than conventional fiber, such that the grating can be written before unacceptable darkening of the coating occurs. Such fiber is H 2 and/or D 2 -loaded silica-based fiber having a Ge-doped core, the fiber selected to have a germanium-oxygen deficiency center content that provides the fiber with a photosensitivity that is at least twice as large as that of an otherwise identical, conventionally prepared, optical fiber. The fiber typically is drawn from a preform, at least a portion of which was exposed to a reducing atmosphere at an elevated temperature.
