Abstract
The effect of the inhomogeneous distribution of nitrogen impurity on the photosensitivity of germanosilicate fibres is studied. For this purpose, single-mode fibres with different alternations of the core layers sintered in nitrogen and oxygen atmospheres were specially prepared by the MCVD technique. Photoinduced variations in the quadratic nonlinear susceptibility and refractive index of these fibres were recorded. It is shown that the recording efficiency depends on the radial distribution of germanium oxygen-deficient centres, which can be controlled at the stage of sintering through a nonuniform doping by nitrogen over the cross-section.
