Jm. Jouanno et al., STRONG BRAGG GRATINGS FOR WDM DEVICES IN NONSENSITIZED LOW-LOSS GE-DOPED WAVE-GUIDES, Electronics Letters, 32(23), 1996, pp. 2151-2152
Bragg gratings have been written with 193 nm UV-light through a phase
mask in low-loss germanium-doped buried waveguides. Without any kind o
f sensitisation, reflectivities of up to 99.98% and background rejecti
on better than 22 dB have been obtained for 20 mm long Bragg gratings.
