Abstract
High reflectivity gratings have been formed in optical fibre using a 1 93nm ArF laser irradiated phase mask. Relatively high absorption in th e fibre core at this wavelength coupled with an incubation effect in w hich the absorption grows with repeated exposure allows rapid grating formation (approximately 10 pulses) at modest fluences (approximately 400m Jcm-2).
