  • Abstract
    Bragg gratings in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based polymer fibers were created and were tuned thermally. It is found that the tuning range is more than 18 nm over a temperature variation of 50/spl deg/C. More importantly, no hysteresis effect was observed as the gratings were heated up and cooled down.
