Fiber Bragg gratings have many applications such as fiber sensors, band-stop filters, add-drop filters, and mode convertors. In this paper, we present the fabrication method of various fiber Bragg gratings by using continuous wave UV-Argon(frequency-doubled Argon) laser. In our experiments, hydrogenation of fibers was used to enhance photosensitivity of fiber. And we fabricated fiber gratings by the phase mask method.

We demonstrated numerically that both the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope could be compensated by using purely phase-sampled superstructure fiber Bragg gratings provided with chirp of coupling coefficient along the wavelength axis. Also, we propose a purely phase-sampled Bragg grating for dispersion and dispersion slope compensation by introducing a chirp in coupling coefficient and sampling function. The bandwidth of all reflected channels can be equalized.

In this study, we studied the gamma-radiation effect of fiber Bragg gratings on the fiber re-coating methods. The fiber Bragg gratings were exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of 100 kGy at the dose rate of 104 Gy/min. In our experimental results, we confirmed that the fiber acrylate re-coating process leads to a slightly lower radiation sensitivity of FBGs.

We fabricated fiber bragg gratings using interferometric method with Phase mask. The interferometer consisted of two plane-parallel mirrors and a phase mask perpendicular to mirrors. The Gratings were written using an Argon-ion laser. The experimental setup could change Bragg wavelength given by the phase mask. (omitted)

When the fiber Bragg gratings are embedded in a fiber-optic Sagnac loop for measuring temperature or strain, it is difficult to separate the Bragg wavelengths. The transmitted light is mixed with the reflected Bragg wavelengths in the photo-detector, working as noises. To suppress the noises, we placed the FBG sensors and a fiber-optic attenuator at asymmetric positions in the loop. With the arrangement the reflected light became much bigger than the transmitted light, enabling the separation of the reflected Bragg wavelengths with almost the same signal-to-noise ratio of the FBG sensors outside the loop.

This paper proposes a new temperature-compensative displacement sensor with a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) attached to the inner and outer surfaces of an elastic metal band. The sensor can be also used as a temperature sensor with high sensitivity. The FBG pair shifted Bragg wavelengths in the same direction according to changes in the temperature. However, because the pressure of the metal band shifted a pair of Bragg wavelengths in the opposite direction, the displacement sensor could compensate for the effect of the temperature change in the proposed FBG pair. Results of the experiments showed that the two FBG displacement sensors responded linearly and symmetrically with respect to the displacement, and the displacement could be obtained using the difference between the two Bragg wavelengths.

We propose and demonstrate a fabrication method of chirped fiber gratings by a thermal diffusion process. The method could suggest a direction for a simple and cost-effective implementation of chirped fiber grating-based devices.

We fabricated a number of optical fiber Bragg gratings by varying the UV beam parameters such as the laser energy density, pulse repetition rate and exposing time. The reflectance and the Bragg wavelength shift of the fiber Bragg gratings formed with a KrF excimer laser in real time depend strongly on the UV beam parameters. The index changes in the gratings during the exposing time are well fitted to the well known equations.

In this study, we studied the effect of $Co^{60}$ gamma-radiation on the fiber Bragg gratings written by femtosecond UV laser in single mode optical fibers. The fiber Bragg gratings were exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of about 31.6 kGy at the dose rate of 106 Gy/min. According to the experimental data and analysis results, we confirmed Bragg gratings written by femtosecond laser have the excellent radiation-hardened characteristics for high radiation environments.

This paper investigates the influence of hydrogen loading process on the radiation sensitivity of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). We made the FBG inscribed in the same commercial Ge-doped fiber with different hydrogen loading periods. We measured the Bragg wavelength shift (BWS) of the FBG exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of 18 kGy, and evaluated the change of full width at half maximum (FWHM) and the FBG temperature sensitivity coefficient after irradiation. Varying hydrogen loading parameter led to BWS differences up to nearly a factor of two.
