Abstract
A deep ultraviolet femtosecond laser operating at wavelength 258 nm was demonstrated to be effective in trimming fiber Bragg gratings in telecommunication fibers. A smooth tunable resonance wavelength shift of up to 0.52nm has been observed, corresponding to a refractive index change of ∼5×10−4 after an accumulated laser fluence of 63.3kJ/cm2 at a single pulse fluence of 124 mJ/cm2. The ultrafast laser enhancement of ultraviolet photosensitivity response and modification of anisotropic index profile in silica fiber is a powerful technique to precise control of the performance of fiber Bragg grating devices for applications in optical filtering and polarization mode dispersion management.
