摘要
A new method for sample fiber Bragg grating fabrication by use of both femtosecond laser and CO2 laser has been proposed and demonstrated. Such a method exhibits the advantages of high fabrication flexibility, and good thermal stability. The sampling period and duty cycle can be easily varied by changing the CO2 laser beam scanning pattern during operation. The gratings produced have potential applications in optical communications, fiber lasers, and optical fiber sensors. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America
