Abstract :
A new technique for long-period fibre grating fabrication using thermally activated diffusion of a core dopant to the cladding region has been proposed. Gratings written in a nitrogen-doped fibre with the help of a CO laser or an electric are have exhibited an excellent resistance to a thermal decay
