Abstract
We discuss the analytical expressions that describe the displacement field resulting from the inscription of a Bragg grating in a Ge-doped optical fib er. The equations stem from a phenomenological approach and allow calculati on of the induced stresses. Our model provides an efficient tool to analyze the effects of radiation-induced density variations on the properties of f iber Bragg gratings. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
