Method of fabricating optical fiber gratings maximizing residual mechanical stress in the optical fibers

摘要

An optical fiber for maximizing residual mechanical stress and an optical fiber grating fabricating method using the optical fiber are provided. The optical fiber includes a core formed of silica, for propagating light, and a cladding formed of boron-doped silica, surrounding the core. Alternatively, the optical fiber includes a core formed of phosphorous-doped silica and a cladding formed of silica, surrounding the core.
