Abstract :
1.55 μm Bragg gratings have been written in cerium-doped fluorozirconate glass singlemode fibres through UV illumination at 246 nm. Photoinduced refractive index changes up to 4×10-4 have been achieved, leading to grating efficiencies close to 100%. Preliminary results on the thermal behaviour of the gratings and realisation of a tunable laser including such a grating are also reported. The ZBLALi (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-LiF:Ce) glass composition was shown to be the most efficient
