摘要
We report on the fabrication of highly efficient fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) in non-photosensitive fibers based on nonlinear absorption of fs laser light. Up to 40 mm long gratings with a transmission of T = -25 dB at the Bragg reflection wavelength were obtained and their coupling constant determined by spectral analysis. Therefore, a phase mask scanning technique with appropriate control of the focus was established.
