Abstract
We inscribed long-period gratings in a hydrogenated SMF-28 fiber by high-intensity femtosecond near-UV pulses via a three-photon absorption mechanism. Due to energy deposition in the fiber cladding, such gratings are similar to those fabricated by C0 2 laser induced heating, mechanical pressure or electric arc. We found that these gratings exhibit significant polarization properties.
