Point-by-Point Femtosecond-Laser Inscription of 2-<italic>&#x03BC;</italic>m-Wavelength-Band FBG Through Fiber Coating

We propose a point-by-point inscription method for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabrication using a femtosecond pulsed laser focused through a fiber polyimide coating, realizing a 2-<italic>&#x03BC;</italic>m-wavelength-band FBG. A femtosecond laser acts as the inscription laser, focuse...

description We propose a point-by-point inscription method for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabrication using a femtosecond pulsed laser focused through a fiber polyimide coating, realizing a 2-<italic>&#x03BC;</italic>m-wavelength-band FBG. A femtosecond laser acts as the inscription laser, focused by a 63&#x00D7; oil lens. A first-order FBG was fabricated with a grating interval of 700&#x00A0;nm. The 15-<italic>&#x03BC;</italic>W pulsed laser was focused directly on the fiber core through the polyimide coating and cladding. A first-order FBG for 2004.8-nm light with more than 56&#x0025; reflectances was fabricated. High wavelength sensitivity and linearity of the FBG were demonstrated by temperature and strain-sensing testing. The first-order FBG of 2004.8 and 2000.2&#x00A0;nm resonant wavelengths could be realized simultaneously through parallel inscription method in 3000&#x00A0;<italic>&#x03BC;</italic>m long grating area.
