Erbium and hydrogen implantation into glass for optical device applications

A material which exhibits a refractive index change on exposure to ultra violet light is obtained when germania doped silica is heated in a hydrogen atmosphere. This phenomena is called photosensitivity. Bragg gratings, which are useful for the fabrication of feedback mirrors in optical amplifiers a...
