Abstract :
The properties of three sensitization processes (UV hypersensitization, OH-flooding and H2-loading) have been investigated through Bragg grating (BG) inscription. Dependence on sensitization parameters and on the fluence per pulse used to write BG, and induced excess loss near 1.4¿ m have been determined for two laser wavelengths: 248nm and 193nm.
