In this work, we reported 2-mm-long fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in benzyl dimethyl ketal (BDK)-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) optical fibers by means of a 520 nm femtosecond laser and point-by-point FBG inscription technique. The highest reflectivity of ~99% is obtained with a pulse energy of 11.2 nJ, showing a large refractive index modulation amplitude of 7.2×10-4 .
In this work, we reported highly reflective polymer optical fiber Bragg gratings (POFBGs) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based polymer optical fibers (POFs) by means of a 266 nm pulsed laser and phase mask technique. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) were inscribed with a single pulse up to 3.7 mJ. After post-annealing, a stable refractive index change up to 4.2×10-4 was obtained. The behavior may mainly be attributed to the movement of initiating radicals arising from BDK under UV irradiation.
