Abstract

See full text

Optical fibers and optical fiber lasers including gratings and methods of writing gratings into fibers. A method can comprise providing a photosensitive optical fiber having a region having an original refractive index (RI) profile along the elongate direction of the fiber; exposing the optical fiber to actinic radiation to alter the original RI profile to form along a length of the fiber a grating having a RI profile including alternating higher RI and lower RI sections; and wherein the maximum RI difference between a RI of a higher RI section and a RI of an adjacent lower RI section of the grating RI profile is no greater than 85% of the difference between the average index of the grating RI profile and the original RI profile.
