Abstract

The increase of absorption loss in photosensitivity enhanced optical fiber via H 2 loading induced in the making process of fiber grating was measured. From the results it can be seen that hydroxyl induced by exposing the H 2 loaded GeO 2-doped optical fiber to 248 nm light causes large absorption loss at 1.4 μm. A reaction model is postulated to describe the process that leads to the loss increase and photosensitivity enhancement in GeO 2-doped optical fiber. © 1997 by Allerton Press, Inc.
