Abstract:

The chapter presents a selective review on the laser processing of optical fibers, including new photosensitivity findings, refractive index engineering and surface structuring results, reported approximately during the last decade. Topics covered include the Bragg grating fabrication in standard germanosilicate and all-silica glass optical fibers using ultraviolet and infrared lasers with pulse durations from nanosecond to femtosecond, regenerated gratings and inscriptions into ...
