Abstract :
The phenomenon of decay in UV-induced Bragg gratings is examined. Thermal stability of gratings with large and small index changes are studied and compared. The role of stabilization in enhancing the thermal stability of gratings is explained. Approaches to analyzing and predicting grating decay are reviewed and compared
