Inscription of first-order sapphire Bragg gratings using 400 nm femtosecond laser radiation

Opt Express. 2013 Feb 25;21(4):4591-7. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.004591.

Abstract

The paper describes the implementation of fiber Bragg gratings inscribed by femtosecond laser pulses with a wavelength of 400 nm. The use of a Talbot interferometer for the inscription process makes multiplexing practicable. We demonstrate the functionality of a three-grating multiplexing sensor and the temperature stability up to 1200 °C for a single first-order Bragg grating.
