Abstract

Techniques to directly write localised refractive index structures in polymer optical fibres (POF) are presented, using UV (400nm) ultrafast laser with pulse lengths of 100 fs to create in-fibre gratings for sensing. No doping is necessary for photosensitisation so commercially available POF is used. An in-fibre grating consisting of a 1.8 μm wide refractive index structure with a periodicity of 189 nm was demonstrated in single mode polymer fibre with optimised laser processing parameters. © 2009 SPIE.
