The optical layouts incorporating binary phase diffractive grating and a standard micro-objective were used for femtosecond microfabrication of periodical structures in fused silica. Two beams, generated in Talbot type interferometer, interfered on a surface and in the bulk of the sample. The method suggested allows better control over the transverse size of the grating pitch, and thus control the reflection strength of the waveguide or fibre grating. We present the examples of direct inscription of the sub-micrometer periodical structures using a 267 nm femtosecond laser radiation.
We report strain characterization of birefringent fiber Bragg gratings fabricated in hydrogen-free photosensitive Ge/B
codoped PS1250/1500 fiber by high-intensity femtosecond 264 nm pulses. These anisotropic FBGs demonstrate high
PDL value of 8 dB but, unlike the FBGs inscribed in PM fibers, show shape preservation under strain of [0, 700 &mgr;&Vegr;] by
interrogation based on broad-band source and optical spectrum analyzer.
Measurements of polarization properties (polarization dependent loss and differential group delay) of a long-period
grating inscribed by means of high-intensity femtosecond 264 nm pulses in an endlessly single mode photonic crystal
fibre are reported. Strong modulation in the spectra of polarization dependent loss and differential group delay with
periods of 2.6 nm and 1.3 nm, respectively, were found. As such an effect has not been observed in standard optical
fibres, it is believed that this is due to the specific mode structure of the holey fibre used for grating fabrication.
We inscribed long-period gratings in a hydrogenated SMF-28 fiber by high-intensity femtosecond near-UV pulses via a three-photon absorption mechanism. Due to energy deposition in the fiber cladding, such gratings are similar to those fabricated by C02 laser induced heating, mechanical pressure or electric arc. We found that these gratings exhibit significant polarization properties.
Using high-intensity (around 200 GW/cm2) femtosecond 264 nm laser light and phase mask technique, Bragg grating inscription in a range of different photosensitive and standard telecom fibres (both H2-free and H2-loaded) was studied. The dependencies of the induced refractive index modulation versus the incident fluence were compared with similar dependencies for gratings fabricated by other existing methods. It was shown that at high-intensity UV laser irradiation, two-quantum photoreactions occur in the irradiated fibre core, which results in a significant photosensitivity enhancement of the investigated fibres in comparison with conventional low-intensity 248 nm exposure (by 6-128 times, depending on fibre type and irradiation intensity).
Using high-intensity (up to 500 GW/cm2) 264 nm laser radiation, we fabricated long-period fibre gratings (LPFGs) in standard telecom and photosensitive fibres and compared the inscription efficiency with that for other existing methods of recording. We studied the temperature sensing properties of the fabricated gratings and demonstrated the effect of thermal recovery of a LPFG resonance peak.
Using high-intensity (100-500 GW/cm2) 264 nm laser radiation, we fabricated long-period fiber gratings in telecom and photosensitive fibers, studied their temperature sensing properties and demonstrated the effect of thermal recovery of a LPFG resonance peak.
Using a new automated set-up and high-intensity 264 nm radiation, we record long-period fiber gratings with strong attenuation peaks in different fibers. The effects of laser inteisty and/or fluence in both H2-loaded and H2-outdiffused fibers aer investigated.
A comparison of photochemical properties of three aromatic and five aliphatic amino acids as well as seven peptides in neutral liquid aqueous solution at five different wavelengths was carried out. The photolysis quantum yield and the quantum yield of peptide bond scission were determined for the first time. The experimental dependence of tryptophan photodecomposition efficiency versus the energy excess above the ionization threshold confirms recent theoretical predictions of photoionization properties of molecules in diluted aqueous solution below the bottom of the conduction band.
