Kp. Chen et al., Rapid long-period grating formation in hydrogen-loaded fibre with 157 nm F-2-laser radiation, ELECTR LETT, 36(24), 2000, pp. 2000-2001
Long-period gratings were fabricated in hydrogen-loaded telecommunication f
ibre using 157nm F-2-laser radiation. A >20dB attenuation peak at 1590nm wa
s induced with only 5.0J/cm(2) accumulated fluence, a value > 250-fold smal
ler in comparison with fluence requirements for 248nm KrF-laser irradiation
