Abstract: An apparatus, method and system are set forth for detection of fluids using Bragg grating sensors, wherein the Bragg grating sensing element comprises an optical fiber having a Bragg grating inscribed therein characterized by optical properties that are dependent upon the periodicity and effective refractive index of the grating, and a package for subjecting the Bragg grating to a change in strain when contacted by a fluid such that periodicity and effective refractive index of the grating changes, whereby when interrogated with laser light any such change in periodicity and effective refractive index may be detected.

Abstract: There is provided an alignment system and method for use in an ultrashort pulse duration laser-based Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) writing system, the alignment system comprising: clamps configured to hold a coated optical fiber in a position perpendicular to a beam path of an ultrashort pulse duration laser-based FBG writing station; an optical detector; and a control system with an input from the optical detector and an output to adjust parameters of an optical source and the FBG writing station adjust a distance between the optical fiber and an optical source of the writing station based on luminescence generated in a core of the optical fiber as indicated in a signal received at the input from the optical detector.

Abstract: Provided is an optical waveguide with an inscribed Bragg grating, where the Bragg grating is stable at high temperature, has low scattering loss and high reflectivity. Also provided is a method for inscribing a Bragg grating in an optical waveguide, the method comprising irradiating the optical waveguide with electromagnetic radiation from an ultrashort pulse duration laser of sufficient intensity to cause a permanent change in an index of refraction within a core of the optical waveguide, where the irradiating step is terminated prior to erasure of a Bragg resonance, and heating the optical waveguide to a temperature and for a duration sufficient to substantially remove a non-permanent grating formed in the optical waveguide by the irradiating step.
