Em. Dianov et al., HIGHLY PHOTOSENSITIVE NITROGEN-DOPED GERMANOSILICATE FIBER FOR INDEX GRATING WRITING, Electronics Letters, 33(15), 1997, pp. 1334-1336
A germanosilicate fibre (7mol.% GeO2) codoped with nitrogen has been f
abricated by the surface plasma CVD process. The fibre has demonstrate
d a photoinduced refractive index change of 2x10(-3) at an irradiation
dose of 75kJ/cm(2) and a wavelength of 244nm without hydrogen loading
, and an index change of 1x10(-2) after hydrogen loading.
