  • Abstract
    High-temperature stable high-reflectivity gratings are fabricated in hydrogen-loaded single-mode fiber (SMF-28) using ultrafast 800-nm radiation. An index modulation of ~ 9 x 10-4 and a loss of >15 dB at the Bragg resonance is present after isochronal annealing up to 1000degC followed by 96 h of isothermal annealing.
