High-Performance Fiber Bragg Gratings, Exposed by a Single 17-ns Excimer Laser Pulse in Birefringent Optical Fiber with an Elliptical Stress Cladding

摘要

The article presents the results of writing of high-performance fiber Bragg gratings in birefringent optical fibers with an elliptical stress cladding by a single 17 ns pulse of ArF excimer laser (193 nm). The gratings' efficiency produced by a single pulse was up to 100％. Experimental results on visualization of these gratings are presented.
