    Abstract: A method of thermally poling a silica based waveguide (12) comprises exposing a region of the waveguide (12) to an electric field (for example, via capillary electrodes (22, 24) inserted into holes in the waveguide); directing a laser beam (18) into the region exposed to the electric field to effect localized heating of the region via direct absorption; and scanning the laser beam (18) over the region at a rate selected to avoid heating of the region above the glass transition temperature. Reversing the electric field while scanning the laser beam (18) allows the formation of periodic poled gratings. The waveguide (12) can comprise an optical fiber.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide (1) has a grating structure (2) in which gratings of different orders are superimposed. When first and second order gratings are superimposed, input light is partially reflected by the first order component and partially coupled out of the waveguide by the second order component. The second order component can also be used to couple external light into the waveguide (1). The grating structure (2) has applications to free space couplers, optical sensors, and suppression of ripples in dispersion compensators.

    Abstract: A single longitudinal mode narrow linewidth and low threshold all fiber laser arrangement is disclosed, constructed from a ring cavity, a gain portion in the ring cavity, an input-output coupling interposed within the cavity and pumping means connected to the ring cavity and to the grating such that, upon actuation of the pumping means, the arrangement acts as a laser.

    Abstract: An optical grating is formed by exposing linearly spaced regions of an optical fibre (10), typically a germanosilicate core fibre, to UV irradiation to produce spaced apart regions (12 and 13) of differing refractive index within the core (11) of the fibre. The grating characteristics are modified to create a relatively complex structure, for example a pi- shifted distributed phase structure, by post-processing the grating. This is achieved by exposing at least one concomitant region (14) of the grating to localised UV irradiation.
