Abstract
Permanent grating patterns have been written directly in lead-tin-fluo rophosphate glasses by use of UV radiation. The effect of photorefract ion is studied in different tin-fluorophosphate compositions. Recorded gratings are found to be volume rather than surface elements. The ind uced index changes are comparable with those seen in GeO2-SiO2 glasses . (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
