Abstract :
Summary form only given. In summary, we have examined thermal decay of fibre Bragg gratings (FBG) for wide temperature and time range. Decay fitted well to a simple power law, and temperature dependence of decay suggests that the accelerated aging condition can be used to test for long-term reliability. This analysis is simpler than previous models and useful for decay estimation.
