Abstract
High pressure 'hydrogen loading' has been used to sensitise standard s inglemode fibres, resulting in the largest reported UV induced index c hanges for low GeO2 fibres. Grating bandwidths of 4 nm and peak DELTAn s of 5.9 x 10(-3) have been reproducibly achieved. Substantial index c hanges have also been achieved by rapidly heating H-2 loaded fibres of various compositions.
