Abstract
The core refractive index of Coming SMF-28 optical fibre exposed to Ar F laser pulses increases with the square of the fluence per pulse. Bra gg gratings with a refractive index modulation amplitude higher than 1 0(-3) have been obtained. This is an order of magnitude improvement ov er previously reported values for this type of fibre in the absence of treatment to enhance the photosensitivity.
