Abstract
Summary form only given. We have demonstrated that gratings of different strengths in unhydrogenated fiber display different stabilities at elevated temperatures, however, gratings written in hydrogenated fiber did not show this trend. These observations should provide further insight into the mechanism of photo-induced index change during both writing and annealing.
