Enhanced photosensitivity in germanosilicate fibres exposed to CO<sub>2</sub> laser radiation
We report a novel method to increase the UV photosensitivity of GeO<sub>2</sub>:SiO<sub>2</sub> optical fibers based on exposure to CO<sub>2</sub> laser irradiation before grating writing. Fibers treated with a CO<sub>2</sub> laser can produce gratings...
